Compressed Air tools

Make Light Work with 24MX Compressed Air Tools and Accessories

Air tools receive power from compressed air. They're tough, long-lasting and make jobs easy and fast. 24MX has an impressive range of air tools, from brake bleeding kits to air drills. So if you want to make life in the workshop or pit lane easier, you've come to the right place. Air tools run on compressed air and an air compressor provides this energy source. Air compressors squash air to about 1/8th of its original volume. When the squashed air gets released, it rapidly expands. It is this energy that propels the tool.

Pneumatic tools are often more powerful and use less energy than their electric equivalent. Air tools are ideal for motocross pit-side maintenance or workshop overhauls thanks to these features and the availability of portable air compressors. There’s a whole range of different types of air tools, so let's look at what's available from 24MX.

Purging guns and air blowers

Purging guns have long or short nozzles. This tool is for the specific purpose of blowing high-pressure air through oilways and galleries. This process is necessary when rebuilding an engine. It ensures that no old oil or contaminants remain to block oil flow. A general-purpose air blower is similar in its use but often has a shorter nozzle. Moreover, you can use it for blasting away dust or debris. It is necessary to use eye protection when using these tools due to the danger of dislodged debris.

Sanders

Air sanders are available in two formats: straight and 90 degrees. Many grades of sanding discs are available with varying levels of abrasion.

Air wrench

An air wrench or spanner is a compressed air tool equivalent to a socket ratchet. Available with a 90-degree angled head, the most popular version is the gun-style air ratchet. These air wrenches make light work of tightening and loosening all kinds of fasteners and have torque and variable speed settings.

Jigsaw

Pneumatic jigsaws have a multitude of uses around the workshop. The reciprocating blade can move up to 10,000 rpm and is excellent for cutting through steel pipework.

Brake bleeder

If you have to service multiple bikes, an air-powered brake bleeding kit gets the old fluid out and the new fluid in quickly. These kits make the task easy. What’s more, they reduce spillage and air in the brake line.

Air drill

The air drill is a versatile air tool with multiple uses. The adjustable chuck can take a drill bit, and the pistol-style grip and handle add to its stability. This tool can also loosen and tighten screws and Allen and Torx fasteners.

Angle grinder

High-power angle grinders will grind or cut through steel. Change the disc and use the air-powered angle grinder to cut through stone and concrete.

24MX air tools are fast, flexible and a great addition to any workshop. To get the most from pneumatic power tools, read the product descriptions. It's essential to ensure you have the correct fittings and sufficient output from your air compressor.
