Electric tools are mechanized tools powered by DC or AC motors, which drive the working head through a transmission mechanism. They have various classification standards. Based on power supply and connection methods, they can be divided into corded (AC) electric tools and cordless (primarily lithium-based) electric tools. Based on their application fields, they can be classified into metal cutting, sanding, assembly, construction and roadwork, forestry, agriculture and animal husbandry, horticulture, mining, and others.
The electric tool industry in China has gone through three stages of development: the initial imitation stage, the technology accumulation stage, and the rapid development stage. In recent years, the market size of the electric tool industry has continued to expand. It is predicted that in the next five years, the market size of the electric tool industry will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend. This growth is mainly attributed to technological advancements, product innovation, and the increasing market demand.
