A big one: brand loyalty. Brand A comes out with the latest greatest cordless "Ahh, my brand will surely be making something like that, I'll wait" Two years later..... crickets. All because of non-shared batteries. You gotta own thousands and thousands in chargers and batteries to enjoy the latest best tools. New air tool drops that's the hotness? Add to cart, screw an air fitting in. Done, using it to make money 1 day later.

Great point. And if you are getting into cordless, consider the variety of tools a company has to offer when picking a battery platform. If you do both carpentry / woodworking type stuff, lawn work and mechanic work (e.g., like around a farm), DeWalt, Milwaukee or Makita are going to be way more versatile than a speciality platform like Snap-on or festool. Corded or air tools are still great for diversity and cost if you don’t need it to be portable. Also, some tools like sanders and grinders, eat batteries and corded or air is probably a way better option for many people.

The compressor is one GIANT battery that will forever work for every air tool from every manufacturer. Effectively lasts forever as well. No comparison. Only downside for a homeowner is if you want a big compressor you need super long hose and you’re still limited in where you can work. So you’d need a backup compressor but even then still it’s basically 2 “batteries” vs a million.

CP is right. For those starting their careers in a shop - air is free! The shop provides a compressor, save your money. A Taiwan impact or even a used impact will work for years. Get your hard line and diag tools first, then you’ll have funds to buy the latest cordless stuff.

#6: If you are using them everyday, air tools are going to last longer and have less problems. This is just due to them being much simpler. As long as you are conditioning your output air to remove moisture and putting a drop of oil in them a couple times a week, the can be daily drivers for years, if not decades. Air tools also tend to be much more ruggedly built with less plastic and more steel or aluminum. They are just going to stand up to more abuse.

@stauker.1960 Жыл бұрын
I feel I should point out two big pros of cordless tools: maneuverability and flexibility. a charger won't pressure a weak circuit breaker and doesn't require anything more than a wall outlet and time. Once the battery is on the tool, it sits there till it's dead. A battery can't get looped or hooked on anything, and you can take it where there aren't compressors or plugins. Which means if you're a homeowner, it's easier and more convenient to get a cordless setup. I also don't know off the top of my head if there are pneumatic impact drivers, but I know Makita makes like, 30.
@malcolmmarzo2461 Жыл бұрын
For the home mechanic 1/4 and 3/8 air ratchets are more practical. For tools that sit around 90 percent of the time air drive is always available. Cordless tools have a habit of being discharged or dead, often leaving you in the expensive position of looking for a new battery.

I have a 3/8 snap on pneumatic ratchet that I love, I paid $40 used and it out preforms Milwaukees m12 3/8 ratchet. It’s smaller, makes more torque, and spins slightly faster. And it never stops spinning. No worries about batteries. My Ingersoll rand 1/2 impact was $20 used and works perfectly. My air compressor was 50$ at an auction. Does great. I love the sound of an air tool The harbor freight air tools are dirt cheap and so pretty good, say for a die grinder, my electric one was $80 and my pneumatic one was $20 and is just as powerful. And 1/3 the size

For just a home or hobby mechanic cordless is probably the way to go in my opinion, especially since those same tools can also be used for all those around the house jobs and maintenance too where a hose won't reach, also a large compressor running often might be an annoyance to neighbours if you're just working out of a garage 3m from your neibours lol. But for a more serious workshop air tools def the way to go, especially since you'll probably be getting an air compressor anyway for other things

Another: Battery technology changes quickly and makes your tools obsolete. I am just an average DIY home owner, but I had a good collection of the older Craftsman cordless drills, drivers, impact wrench, nail guns, etc. Eventually they discontinued that battery line and introduced the newer versions as Lowe's now. Whenever I needed new tools, it didn't make sense to find left over stock from an obsoleted battery line, and I then had multiple sets of batteries and chargers for a long time until I eventually changed over everything, replacing tools that still technically worked to try and get rid of all these extra battery chargers I was keeping around for one tool I still had using that battery. I dread the day my current eco system gets obsoleted and I have to do it again.

But I am going to be locked in to some sort of battery tools regardless because I won't drag an air hose upstairs every time I need to hang a picture on the wall :D I am trying to figure out the right balance of air compressor size and what tools are useful to run on air, vs. keep electric. So far the biggest needs I have come across are a die grinder (because a Dremel is not strong enough for metal work) and an air hammer. A compact cut off tool would probably be beneficial for when an angle grinder can't quite fit. Look forward to watching more of your videos!

Air tools are great assuming you do everything inside the shop. Smaller, lighter, more powerful in some cases, and cheaper generally. The downsides are you have to constantly screw with an air hose, switching between tools, tripping over hose, trying to keep them clean and not mar up the finish on a customer's car. Trying to talk over a noisy compressor running all the time isn't fun either. Yes, they make quiet models, but there's also a premium to figure in there. Cordless is bigger yes, but you have to consider you have the power supply attached to the tool. Cordless just can't be beat for handiness. Being able to have power outside in remote spots on those days when you got cars waiting on parts inside eating up hoist/floor space and need to get some quick and easy jobs billed out to break even, cordless tools are worth their weight in gold. Also, for dash work, it's hard to beat an m12 brushed ratchet with a cp battery. Very little difference in size compared to even an sp air ratchet. Both have their place and purpose. Every situation is different.

Sounding like an infomercial. Are you tired a dealing with getting tangled in air hoses; they're just impossible, and the compressesors are as loud as a jet. You make valid points I just thought it was funny. Idk how many autoshops would do it but a lot of people will have an air system tied to a compressor. They'll set it up in a seperate room (sound proofing it) so that it's no more than a light humm while supplying the whole shop. I take it that's not a thing in autoshops?

I’m considering getting that Astro Thor. I’m well vested in Milwaukee, but like you said, that 1/2 impact is heavy as hell. I know it’s strong (as much as a lot of air ones), but it’s like hauling around a bowling ball. Also, I get roped into buying batteries usually. My M12 grease gun was $149 with a 4.0 and 2.0 battery. The bare tool was $99. I don’t think I’ve ever bought a bare Milwaukee because it’s pretty much cheaper to get the batteries.

By the time you have the air compressor on the service truck started and the line run out you could have have had the job half way done with a battery powered tool.

VS at least $400 of batteries that like you said have to be replaced every 3 years.

Mainly because in really tight with no room to work with areas hauling a cordless or even corded cutoff wheel makes the job more difficult. I'm ordering one for the shop when I get back. Also I've occasionally had to take a tire off and while the cordless impact will work (sometimes). I just wind up grabbing the air impact wrench because I know it's going to get the job done. I'm not against cordless impacts because they do have their uses.

Funny I was recently contemplating getting rid of my air compressor and tools. My reasons; 1 - Noise. I do a lot of late night wrenching and my neighbors can easily hear my compressor. 2 - Any power tool I invest in is regulated to the garage. I'd need 120 feet of hose to work inside or in my front yard. 3 - Speed. If I want to fire up a cordless tool for a quick 2 minute job I do it. With my air tools, I am waiting longer to build up pressure than many of the jobs I'm doing. 4 - Ergonomics. I always feel I'm fighting the hose, even using a whip. I use nice small batteries so that is a non issue with my cordless. 5 - Space. I'd argue that in my little shop the floor space, and wall space behind the compressor are way more than the space I use to store tools. I suppose like everything, the unique specifics of how one works, and what kind of work they are doing really influences priorities and opinion.

The funny thing about noise is a cordless impact still makes it and I can hear it air tools are quieter now than electric ones and if you were concerned about compressor noise you could build a stand-alone box insulation and remote feed it from the outside several of my friends have done this the noise is reduced so much it's just a flutter.

But in honesty, when I needed more umph or run time, I still had to break out the air or corded tools, think that's another important factor, air tools are built like tanks, they can be ran for as long as you have a continuous supply of air, and just adding a bit oil, less wear and tear.

As a NON-professional I feel too many cordless tools are a waste. i could go months in between use and the batteries just degrade. Air is good to go and powerful. I use scuba tanks as an air source if I want to use them remotely. A 3000 PSI 80cf or 3500 PSIU 100cf tank lasts a while. The scuba regulator brings the pressure down to 140psi and supplies plenty of flow.

Good battery nailers are hard to find. I have small air compressor for those. So specialty tools is about your only point that really holds up. All other points could be reversed.

I used mine constantly. Full wiring harnesses on cars and lots and lots of time with that thing in my hand. It died last week. No power to the circuit board controlling the heating element. Been on hold with some personal wiring projects since. Havent had the guts to step to a different one since I'm quite invested in the m12 line and love sitting it down on a 4.0 battery and having the head angled just perfectly. Havent found one that I can justify replacing the m12 with.

@@CPthetooladdict where can I email you? it’s a bit easier to have a convo via email? Or dm if you prefer, are you on IG? But yes I thought my m12 iron was just defective but later heard everyone disliked it except for very particular use cases. The stand up design is admittedly quite nice, unfortunately it lacks in ways that are unacceptable to me for a tool that has access to up to 12V 6ah 2P packs meanwhile I use a iron that has exponentially less overall battery power available to it and it performs infinitely better. I would bet someone so inclined could fix the milwaukee after re-engineering it to allow it to use much more power. Assuming their proprietary BMS & safety chips don’t make that impossible.

@@CPthetooladdict have you seen the TS-80P or it’s older non USB C TS100? It might look cheap but it’s insanely efficient. It heats faster and hotter than my seller bench supply. And it can be run from a freaking battery bank for hours on end. It’s a open source project running open source firmware. Don’t scoff at it’s China origin until you try them. They blow my mind honestly. I felt like Milwaukee had robbed me after seeing what this thing could do. It’s gotten pricier since the Covid and supply chain shit went crazy, but still only seen it at $100 max. Have you seen these reviewed? EEV blog did a good review and so did another guy I forget the name of but let me know if you aren’t familiar with them and I’ll send a link to the best review I’ve seen

@@kyleburks7077 have you looked at the TS80P or it’s slightly older TS100? The TS100 is technically a bit higher wattage but you can’t pay attention to that because of their unique design it doesn’t matter at all and most people prefer the USB C TS80P. It made me embarrassed of paying what I did for the m12 which lacks controls found on crazy cheap irons. The only redeeming quality of the m12 is the stand up and adjustable nature. But these units are so light and handheld oriented you don’t miss it much and if you need to you can get a 5 dollar stand that props it up to stand up straight without worrying about knocking it down. Do some research on them dont judge on the size alone. The milwaukee has far fewer components in it and the plastic housing is just a giant hollow grip basically. Also ghe milwaukees price is even more insane once you consider the batteries are the most pricey component and not included obviously. Anyway yea check them out I’ve never met someone who wasn’t happy with the ts80, it’s insanely perfect for micro soldering and somehow stands it’s grounds when soldering 10 gauge cables for my trucks battery terminal. I thought it would be trash and the hype was unwarranted but for once I was wrong. Let me know if you have any thoughts or wind up getting one how you like it. Just return to Amazon if by some chance you don’t like it

You had the wrong air system set up. I've been maintaining my vehicles for over 30 yrs. I Started out with just hand tools. Once I got married, I had two vehicles to maintain. I bought my first air compressor, 8 gallon, back in 2014. I've since then upgraded to a 33-gallon air compressor. Overhead hose reel. Air lines and air outlets throughout the garage. My air compressor is always filled with air and ready to go when needed. I do have battery powered drills, which I love those. Especially when working around the house.

not hating an air tools at all but when the compressor takes a shit it’s costs a pretty penny to get a sparky and the air compressor tech to get out there. that being said a new nema 1or 2 starter is cheaper than new batteries (looking a you milwaukee, snap-on) just remember to drain the tank daily so you have air tools not hydro pneumatic tools

@@Pk3_Garage we got different ideas of a good compressor, a simple little 80 gal 7.5 hp 480 v IR is close to 3-4k a size 1 nema starter is close to $150-200 last time I had to order one. And a baldor 7.5 hp motor is gonna run close to 2k. (And that would be lower quality for a professional air compressor, no VFD or pressure sensor)

I'm speaking for the home DIY. (Like myself) Most don't need to spend that kind of money or need that big of an air compressor. I have a Craftsman 33 gallon, 1.7 HP, 165 max PSI, oil free air compressor. Paid $325 for it back in 2016 on sale. It runs all my automotive and fabrication tools with no problem. I buy air tools that meet the SCFM of my air compressor. So, I don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for the professional version.

Cuz no limited range, no waiting on the air compressor to build up, no smashed hands, no air tool oil, no hearing damage, better power a lot of times, bragging rights, no air hose to trip over, no air hose to clean up afterwards. I kinda get it if your shop already has air, but if you have to buy a reel, hoses, a good compressor, etc you may as well just go battery powered.
