Are air tools a meme for the home mechanic?

Tools are for pussies lmao. You can use your bare hands for most jobs if you know what you're doing

>t. Never worked on anything

>6.2 SCFM at 90

Pick one

>one battery
Awesome working for 10 minutes, then waiting 30 to go again.

this made me laff

Same thing goes for a compressor. But unlike batteries, you only need *one*. Ever.

Three batteries cost what a decent entry level compressor costs. And that compressor will work for 20-30 years. How long will you get out of your three batteries?

>battery powered angle grinders
Absolutely disgusting

>t. pussy

Nice b8 m8, I'm sure you turn stuck bolts with your fingers and grind steel with your ass cheeks.

Another thing to think about is a decent compressor doesn't lose it's value. I paid $250 for this good old US made 220v, 30 gal, 3 lung dayton years ago, and it's still worth the same now. I plan on upgrading to a 80gal, 2 stage vertical this year, and I'll easily get the money I spent on the dayton back, if not turn a bit of profit too.

Those 60v Dewalts are pretty tempting (obviously too niche for a home wrencher and not a replacement for a corded 5 inch though)
