FAQs

Pneumatic tools (compressor-driven) are lighter, more durable, and have better power-to-weight for high-duty cycle work — the standard in tyre bays, fleet workshops, and assembly. They need a compressor with the right CFM rating. Battery-electric tools are mobile and need no air supply but are heavier and have shorter run-time per charge — the standard for site-service and field work. Mains-electric tools sit between the two — used where mains is available and a compressor isn't.

Each pneumatic tool has a rated air consumption listed on its product page (in CFM or L/min). As a rule of thumb, size your compressor to deliver at least 25% more than the tool's rated CFM at 90 PSI working pressure. For a typical 1/2-inch impact wrench (3-4 CFM), a 5-CFM compressor is the minimum. For continuous-duty tools (sanders, grinders) with 8-12 CFM ratings, a 15+ CFM industrial compressor is needed.

Yes. Parts For Machines lists replacement carbon brushes, motor armatures, gaskets, seals, vanes, bearings, and consumable bits for the majority of Draper, SIP, Sealey, and Chicago Pneumatic portable power tools. Search by the model code stamped on the tool body. If your model is not listed, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the code and a photograph and we will confirm parts availability.

Car wheel nuts torque to roughly 90-150 Nm, well within a 1/2-inch impact wrench (typical maximum torque 600-1000 Nm). For light commercials and vans, a 1/2-inch heavy-duty impact wrench works. For HGVs, where wheel nuts torque to 600-700 Nm with break-out forces of 1000+ Nm, a 1-inch impact wrench (max torque 2000-3500 Nm) is the standard. The product page lists rated maximum torque and break-out torque on every impact wrench.

Portable Power Tool

Portable Power Tools cover the handheld pneumatic and electric power tools used in workshops, fleet bays, and on-site service — the impact wrenches, hammer drills, breakers, power saws, drills, sanders, and grinders that go where the work is. Parts For Machines supplies portable power tools and consumables for trade and professional use, with brand selection focused on industrial-grade tools rather than DIY-tier products. Within Portable Power Tool you will find Portable Power Tools Consumables (the wear parts and replacement bits), Diamond Blades, Hammers Breakers & Consumables, Hammers & Breakers, Power Saws & Consumables, Impact Drives Wrenches & Consumables, Impact Drives & Wrenches, and Power Saw Consumables. The category groups both the tools themselves and the high-frequency consumables that keep them running. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Draper and SIP across the portable-power-tool range. For pneumatic-powered portable tools Parts For Machines offers Chicago Pneumatic — the brand has the deepest range here, covering professional impact wrenches, hammer drills, sanders, grinders, and air drills used in heavy-duty workshop and tyre-bay applications. Sealey extends the range at competitive trade pricing. Product pages list power source (pneumatic working pressure and air consumption, or mains voltage and wattage, or battery platform), torque ratings (for impact wrenches), spindle size and chuck capacity (for drills), and weight. For pneumatic tools, the working pressure is typically 6.2 bar (90 PSI) and the required compressor CFM is listed — pair the tool to a compressor with at least 25% headroom over the rated CFM. Replacement consumables — brushes, seals, vanes, bearings, drill bits, saw blades — are listed for the majority of the portable tools we sell. Search by the model code stamped on the tool body for service parts. Trade pricing on multi-tool and fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
