2021 L2 Engineering Hydraulics Tools

 What are hydraulic tools?

Hydraulic tools powered tools that use pressurized fluid to operate the hydraulic machines. The fluid moves through tubes and into the tool's actuator, where the pressure stored in the fluid is transferred to the moving parts.

Different types of hydraulic power tools?
Hydraulic Riveters.
Hydraulic Pullers.
Hydraulic Pushers.
Hydraulic Presses.
Hydraulic Pumps & Cylinders.
Hydraulic Hoses & Accessories.
Hydraulic Motors.

How do they work?

Hydraulics uses a pump to pressurize hydraulic fluids compressing using a jack and lifting them up, allowing the jack to hold something up, under the pressure.

What safety precautions do you need to take

You must wear the correct PPE when you are using or around hydraulics like safety glasses, ear muffs, and covered footwear.

How do you maintain them? 

Brush and wipe clean all hydraulic connections before you insert them into a hydraulic pump or remote head. Always use fiber brushes when cleaning your hydraulic tools—never metal-bristled brushes.
