How large of a market is the Pneumatic Power tool market in the US
(dollars, units, or both)?  Is there any relevant breakout by tool
type (screwdrivers, sanders, grinders, nailers, etc.) as well?

Hello Blucken,

I located a commercial market report "Power and Hand Tools" published
in August 2003 that contains information about Pneumatic Tools.

The US market for power and hand tools will reach $15.4 billion in
2007. This study analyzes the US power and hand tool industry,
presenting historical US demand data for 1992, 1997 and 2002, and
forecasts to 2007 and 2012 by type (e.g., drills, saws, sanders,
polishers and grinders, screwdrivers, planers and routers, hammers,
wrenches, percussion tools, pliers, specialized automotive tools); and
by market.

The price of the full report is very expensive ($4000.00); however it
is possible to purchase sections of the report for around $30.00 each.

The following sections for example:

Pneumatic Tools - Overview (1 of 2) ($30.00) 
Pneumatic Tools - Overview (2 of 2) ($30.00) 
PNEUMATIC TOOL SUPPLY & DEMAND (million dollars) 1992-2012 ($40.00) 
Pneumatic Tools - US Foreign Trade ($30.00) 
Pneumatic Drills & Screwdrivers ($30.00) 
PNEUMATIC DRILL & SCREWDRIVER SUPPLY & DEMAND (million $) 1992-2012 ($40.00) 
Pneumatic Sanders, Polishers & Grinders ($30.00) 
PNEUMATIC SANDER, POLISHER & GRINDER SUPPLY & DEMAND (mil $) 1992-2012 ($40.00) 
Pneumatic Impact Wrenches ($30.00) 
PNEUMATIC IMPACT WRENCH SUPPLY & DEMAND (million dollars) 1992-2012 ($40.00) 
Pneumatic Percussion Tools ($30.00) 
PNEUMATIC PERCUSSION TOOLS SUPPLY & DEMAND (million dollars) 1992-2012 ($40.00) 
Other Pneumatic Tools ($30.00)

Would information on purchasing any of these individual sections be of
your interest?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Bobbie7:

I actually have purchased sections from that report in the past, but
was not sure if there was any other secondary market reports out there
that would provide more current (2004) information.
