It is amazing how man has harnessed the power of air tools in order to make mundane, time-consuming and soul-destroying tasks more interesting, faster and far more satisfying. The first known pneumatic air tool was a relatively unsophisticated yet effective air compressor in the form of the hand bellows used by early blacksmiths and smelters. Subsequently, early experiments with air pumps and vacuums began in the 17th Century and the first compound air compressor was patented in 1829. In the 20th Century, the power of air pressure was fully exploited in a plethora of applications from automatic control systems to automatic machinery and of course, ingenious labour saving tools. This spirit of innovation and invention continues and at www.buckandhickman.com we are proud to present some of the latest and greatest tools to harness the awesome elemental power of air.
