The integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly allows several air tools to operate from a single air compressor, using a simplified air hose distribution system. An operator may independently adjust the regulated pressure of the integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly to compensate for varying working conditions. A greater air hose supply pressure may be used, as regulation of air pressure is accomplished at the integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly. The increased air transport efficiency allowed by the integrated air tool and pressure regulator assembly of the present invention may provide for the use of smaller diameter hose, which may be lighter, more flexible, less costly, and the like.
