What Happened To Air Tools? -ETCG1

14 Oct

I started working as a professional technician in the early 90’s. At that time air tools ruled. My 1/4” air ratchet was my best friend that I used on just about every job. Now it hardly leaves the tool box. The reason, I’d rather ditch the air hose and use an electric tool instead.

Do you also see this trend? Do you find yourself reaching for an electric tool over an air tool? Are you happier with electric tools?

I look forward to reading your comments on this one.
