Sähkötyökaluissa

Sähkötyökaluissa refer to power tools in Finnish. These are tools that are actuated by an additional mechanism other than the solely manual labour used with hand tools, and more often than not they are powered by electricity. Electric power tools are used in the trade, industry and construction, but also in home workshops and gardens. The range of electric power tools is vast, including items for drilling, cutting, fastening, sanding, and grinding, among many other applications.

Common types of electric power tools include drills, which are used for creating holes in various materials. Saws, such as circular saws, jigsaws, and reciprocating saws, are used for cutting wood, metal, and plastic. Sanders, like orbital sanders and belt sanders, are employed for smoothing surfaces. Impact wrenches and nail guns are fastening tools used in construction and automotive repair. Grinders, including angle grinders, are useful for cutting, polishing, and shaping hard materials.

Electric power tools can be either corded or cordless. Corded tools draw power from a mains electrical outlet via a power cord, offering continuous operation. Cordless tools, on the other hand, are powered by rechargeable batteries, providing greater portability and freedom of movement. The development of battery technology has significantly improved the performance and runtime of cordless power tools, making them increasingly popular for both professional and DIY use. Safety is paramount when using any power tool, and proper training, protective equipment, and adherence to manufacturer instructions are essential.
