As for air tools. I don’t know if I would even consider a large job that includes suspension without at least having an impact wrench. It makes most of my jobs much faster and saves wear and tear on my body when I have to put in a full day of wrenching.
There are battery operated impact wrenches. I have the Milwaukee one and it’s been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Usually when buying those tools I buy the bare tool and look around for a battery and charger combo. Ends up being cheaper.
That said - a nice air compressor is also a heck of an investment and long term - air tools are cheaper and stronger. But yeah. Now you’re talking thousands.

Just sent him an email after some more thread searching. Believe it or not, I've gotten away with doing much of the engine and suspension work on my 931 without impact tools, the strut inserts and mounts are the only parts that come to mind where I've needed them and I borrowed a friend's air impact and chisel then. I'm borrowing another's electric impact just for easier disassembly this week.
I'll have to go out and buy one for myself soon at this rate! I'm still working within a "college budget" haha! But there will come a day when I invest in air tools.
