Hi there,

I'd like to have your opinion about the term "power tools"...I use to translate it as "herramientas el�ctricas" 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 el�ctricas", as this term is also used when they are gas-operated, so keep it and do not worry!
Cheers!

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

Ser�n "herramientas el�ctricas, hidr�ulicas y neum�ticas" entonces.

Se trata de "herramientas motorizadas". �stas abarcan cualquier tipo de fuente de energ�a que no sea la fuerza humana: hidr�ulica, el�ctrica, combusti�n interna, etc.
