Disability use text
Air compressors produce compressed air which provides power to the worker with limited range of motion and strength. Air Compressors provide air flow to pneumatic tools ranging from wrenches to grease guns. Instead of the worker squeezing a handle or pulling a lever, the task can be accomplished by pulling a trigger or pushing a button with compressed air power doing the work. In dairy barns, compressed air is used to open and close gates, spray cleaners and herd cows into the milking parlor.
Workers with common conditions such as these would benefit from an Air compressor: Arm Amputation, Arthritis, Cancer, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome/Repetitive Motion Injury, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hand Injury, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Old-Age, Quadriplegia, Rotator Cuff Injury, Shoulder Replacement, Stroke, Rheumatoid Arthritis (hands, wrists).
Carpenters, mechanics, farmers, welders, truckers, loggers and most other tradesmen who have disabling arm, shoulder or hand conditions should make use of air-powered tools to regain the power and motion needed to complete their job tasks. Air-powered tools include:
- air nailers
- air-powered chisels
- socket (impact) wrenches
- grinders & sanders
- gate openers
- grease guns
- air hammers
- caulk guns
- paint sprayers
