Once you get used to the electric impacts you'll never want to go back to the traditional pneumatics. Much, much more versatile, faster and convenient than air tools. Air is the ticket for such things as sanders. cutoffs, grinders and stuff but for assembly of nuts, bolts and hardware a battery impact is the way to go. I converted over to electrics over a year ago. I keep 2 guns and 6 chargers going at my work station now. Maybe twice a week at most will I need to drag out a air hose. Once you get the feel of the gun you can tighten a series of bolts quickly and the torque for all will be within a couple of lbs. I'm using the 18V Dewalts and I love them.
