Need for Air Compressor: Pneumatic wrenches require a reliable and appropriately sized air compressor to operate, adding to the initial cost and setup complexity.
Limited Mobility: The need for an air supply limits the mobility of pneumatic wrenches, making them less suitable for tasks in remote or off-grid locations.
Noise and Vibration: Pneumatic wrenches can be quite loud during operation, and the vibration can cause discomfort for some users. Proper hearing protection and anti-vibration gloves may be necessary.
Air Hose Management: The air hose connecting the wrench to the compressor can sometimes get in the way, requiring careful management to prevent tangling or tripping hazards.
Lower Torque Control: Compared to electric torque wrenches, pneumatic wrenches may offer less precise torque control, which can be a concern for certain applications requiring highly accurate torque values.
Maintenance Requirements: Pneumatic wrenches require periodic maintenance, such as lubrication and filter replacement, to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Air Supply Concerns: If the air supply is insufficient or unstable, it can impact the performance of the pneumatic wrench, leading to reduced torque output and slower operation.
