Hey dont get me wrong I love my electric impacts but it still doesnt hit as hard as my IR2135. I've been using electric more and more bc yeah the hose can get annoying. But cutoff wheel air hammer sand blast cabinet um airing tires, blowing off dust on the work bench and garage floor...shall I go on?
Definitely can't beat air for cut off wheels, die grinders, etc. I also prefer to use the air drill if I can't get a part in the drill press. Less wrist breaky...

Changing spark plugs, crack the old plug loose and then blow out the cavity with compressed air. Otherwise, anything down there may end up in the engine. If every tool went electric I'd still want compressed air.

Oh now Sam wants a compressor, lol! I blow it out before pulling out the plugs so nothing gets blown in.

Also yes die grinder and right angle grinder FTW. Have fun dealing with the weight and size of an electric with those...and air tools stay cool. Same can't be said for electric. I've literally had a 4.5" angle grinder burst into flames on me hahaha!

Can't use that either its going to statically charge everything and will promote dirt and dust to collect.

The moisture in your breath can cause corrosion though.
