There are various types of electric tools containing lithium batteries, including the following common ones:

1. Drilling types: such as lithium drills, lithium impact drills, lithium hammers, etc., commonly used for drilling holes in materials such as wood, metal, and concrete.

2. Tightening type: including lithium impact wrenches, lithium ratchet wrenches, etc., mainly used to tighten or loosen bolts, nuts and other fasteners.

3. Cutting type: There are lithium angle grinders, lithium circular saws, lithium reciprocating saws, lithium curve saws, etc., which can cut wood, metal, plastic, etc.

4. Polishing type: such as lithium battery polishing machines, lithium battery polishing machines, etc., used for polishing and buffing the surface of workpieces.

5. Landscape category: such as lithium electric lawn mowers, lithium electric hair dryers, lithium electric pruning shears, etc., suitable for garden pruning, lawn maintenance, and debris cleaning work.

6. Spray painting: For example, lithium electric spray paint guns can be used to spray paint or coatings, improving the scope and flexibility of operations.

7. Other: There are also lithium-ion hydraulic pliers, lithium-ion car washing machines, lithium-ion grease guns, lithium-ion hot air guns, lithium-ion inflation pumps, etc., which are used in different professional fields or daily situations

The UN number applicable to electric tools containing lithium batteries is mainly determined based on the type of lithium battery and transportation method. The common ones are as follows:

UN3481: If the power tool uses lithium-ion batteries and the batteries are installed in the tool or packaged together with the tool, UN3481 is applicable. Most common power tools such as lithium drills, lithium impact drills, and lithium angle grinders usually use this UN number.

UN3091: When power tools are powered by lithium metal batteries and the batteries are installed in the tool or packaged together with the tool, UN3091 is applicable, but such power tools are relatively rare.

UN3171: For some large electric tools and equipment mainly powered by lithium batteries, such as electric lawn mowers and other garden electric tools, if their net weight exceeds 30kg, UN3171 may be applicable.

UN3556: According to the 42nd revised edition of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, starting from January 1, 2026, vehicles or equipment powered by lithium-ion batteries are required to use UN3556 for sea transportation, and some large electric tools may be subject to this UN number.
