Thread: power tools

Hi there,

I'd like to have your opinion about the term "power tools"...I use to translate it as "herramientas eléctricas" but some times there are not electrical, but gas-operated, for example. How would you translate it, then?

Cheers

Jack

Hi Jack! In such a case I'd still use "herramientas eléctricas", as this term is also used when they are gas-operated, so keep it and do not worry!
Cheers!

Thank you Marlene,

as always, it is a pleasure to hear from you!

Cheers

Jack

Serán "herramientas eléctricas, hidráulicas y neumáticas" entonces.

Se trata de "herramientas motorizadas". Éstas abarcan cualquier tipo de fuente de energía que no sea la fuerza humana: hidráulica, eléctrica, combustión interna, etc.

Yes, I think that it's the best choice!

thank you

Jack

Hi Jack, you can use "herramientas de potencia".
