Depends on what you're doing.... I find it most useful when you need a hit 
with an impact on something that's really hard to loosen any other way 
(like top strut mounts, for instance).  Also when you need an air blast to 
blow something off.

You don't have hardly any capacity of course, so you need to use it 
wisely, but its occasionally quite useful.
