Tools & Machinery

Tools cover products for general and specialist work in industrial workshops. The category includes hand tools, cordless, electric, pneumatic and hydraulic tools, measuring tools, machining tools, grinding and abrasive products, and tools for seals.

What are Tools?

A tool transfers manual force or powered movement to assemble, machine, measure, grind, abrade or maintain components. The range includes standard workshop tools and specialist variants, including stainless-steel and non-sparking tools for specific working environments.

Applications and industries

Tools are used in almost every industrial sector. The product groups support assembly, metalworking, welding and soldering, measurement, machining and work on seals. Non-sparking tools are intended for tasks in fire- or explosion-hazard environments.

How to select tools

Define the operation and whether it requires a hand, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or cordless tool. Then assess the required precision, ergonomics and safety environment. For work with an explosion hazard, select only tools intended for that specific application.

Key attributes

Key attributes are tool type, power source, operation, precision level, ergonomics and suitability for the safety environment.

Frequently asked questions

When should pneumatic tools be selected?

Pneumatic tools form a distinct powered product group. Choose this power source where the task and working environment require it, and check the operation and applicable safety conditions.

Which tools are intended for measurement?

Measuring tools form a separate product group. Define the quantity and precision required by the task, then select the measuring tool suited to the operation.

Why are non-sparking tools used?

Non-sparking tools are intended to avoid spark generation during repair or maintenance in fire- or explosion-hazard environments. Always check the safety requirements that apply to the workplace.
