Over the years, many inventions and tools as well as industrial units have taken the route of portability, increasing their popularity among the individual handymen and users as well as the general population. The invention of portable pressure washer, would just be a perfect example. Here are 5 of the most common and popular tools that handymen and DIY experts seek out in order to ease their activity and raise their efficiency level. 1. The portable generator Back in the day, generators were so big that they needed truck to lug them around, but as time passed and the need for portability increased, so did the inventors, designers and mechanics that have sought to figure this one out. They did eventually and now we are able to deliver power a lot more efficiently and a lot more comfortably. 2. The compressor The first compressors built were as big as a house and extremely dangerous. They ran on coal and were build from heavy cast iron parts, but were handling pressures that far exceeded the capabilities of cast iron, so there were more compressor related accidents back then than there are car crashes today. As time went on and we felt the need for portability and efficiency, the compressor gradually shrunk down to manageable sizes and is now one of the most sought after tool in the shed. 3. Electrical measuring unit Measuring units in the past were not as big as compressors or generators, but they were extremely heavy. They had so much wiring and so many electrical components that they weighed as much as 290 lbs and were more of a burden than a help. Today an average electrical measuring unit fits comfortably in your pocket and it weighs less than your cell phone, not to mention the fact that it has 20 times more functions and options than it did back in the day. 4. Welding unit Welders were another big problem back in the day. In order to weld something back then, you needed 2 people. The welder himself, that did all the welding, and a strong fellow that could push the cart on which the welding unit sat. Today, the average welding unit is as big as a briefcase and even lighter than it, therefore it is easy to carry around and use. 5. Laptop I am willing to bet that you did not see this one coming, but laptops are something you see quite often on a work site as well as a planning office. The reason for that is not only the lightning speed at which it is able to do the required math and calculations for the project, but also for the design capabilities that it possesses. Out of all the tools, the laptop has gone the biggest length because back in the 1950s when the first computer was constructed, it took up a whole apartment, leaving very little room to walk in, It weighed around 20 tons and was unable to do more than simple operations. Today, it fits comfortably in your lap, can plan everything for 25-30 years in great detail, can design the most intricate things imaginable and can help you communicate by any means necessary with everyone you need to reach.
