What are Hydraulic Power tools?
Hydraulic power tools are tools that use hydraulic pressure to lift a jack or to spin a drill.
How do hydraulic power tools work?
Hydraulic machines use a pump to pump hydraulic fluids, compressing it against a tool like a jack, lifting it up, and allowing the jack to hold something up, under the pressure.
What are the different types of hydraulic tools?
Some hydraulic tools require you to manually pump it, whether it's pumping it with your hands or feet. Then there are hydraulic power tools that require you to use a pump to create the pressure. The pump may require you to use gasoline, and some pumps require you to use mains powered electricity.
What is the correct type of PPE gear to wear when operating a hydraulic tool?
Safety glasses are always a must when in the workshop, no matter what your are doing, and you should also wear safety gloves when operating a hydraulic powered tool. You may be required to use more PPE gear depending on what you are operating. Usually, there will be a sign telling you what PPE gear you will need to wear besides the tool.
