In the 1970s I had a full set of air tools and they were my first grab as a fleet mechanic for a service company with 20 light trucks.

By the 1990s Makita cordless had replaced many of the lighter power tools and I sold off what I didn't use.

By 2010 I was doing a lot less vehicle wrenching and a lot more deck builds, studio builds, feed barn build. Cordless became my primary power tools and the air tools stayed in the drawer.

2025- I do minor automotive work including swapping wheels, suspension, brakes, track prep. I get annoyed by the sound of air tools and my cordless can do 99% of the same work easily. Probably time to sell the few AT I have left. Not likely I will ever go back.
