Air tools are great for working on stuff at the house. I invested in the 10 gallon Fortress compressor and the Earthquake 3/8 air ratchet and couldn't be happier with it, having it about 6 months. I don't run big impact guns and air tools that require more than 4.3 cfm. It really is a great setup and will do just about anything short of heavy equipment repair for me. The 3/8 air ratchet is awesome. It actually surprised me with its torque. The only other things i need to get soon are an air hammer, a hydraulic press for bearing swaps, a large sonic cleaner, and a small welder. In the Maddox brand, i have a ball joint press kit, a wheel bearing press kit, and i plan to keep expanding on those as the ITC prices rotate around. Honestly, i can think of a bunch more things that are worth a million dollars to you when you need it and don't have it.
I’m all about air tools. The money you save on very expensive batteries that you’ll have to replace down the road. They are also have more power. There is a place for electric tools of course. When I used to work on cars, it was all air. Where I work now at a food factory, I use mostly electric. Though I do use some air.
There are 3 parts store within a block of our shop, you will waste more time searching thru a mess of bits and bobs, then going next door and getting a new bolt, and charging it to the customer like ya should

I've been looking at those 3/8 air impacts also. Good to hear some real world feedback. Thanks!

A couple small nuts/ bolts = electric. Working all day in the garage= air tools for sure
Nope. I'm not dragging a compressor out to the trail every time I need to repair a broken down rig!
I like this. The Maddox tools are legit.
Wish they were lifetime warranty like the icon
@@fakenamejones4254 they are built to last though.
For sure, I have a bunch of the different sets.
They made electric tools for NASA astronauts in space repair & now its cheap enough for us
Fair point. They also use electric tools a lot in the medical field.
