Not sure that it's changing of the guard as much as the technology has
really advanced in the last few years. Back in the day, I plumbed
everything for air and when I used to need a real tool, I'd run up the
compressor. About 3 years ago I bought a Makita 18v hammer drill and
found battery life better than I was expecting....and power was better
than my corded Bosch hammer drill.
Suffice it to say, I now have a hammer drill, impact driver, impact gun,
drywall screw gun, angle grinder and a few lights and other bits and
pieces in this system. I'm still on original batteries (but I do have 4
of them) and find recharge time to be about 20 minutes. I can live with
that. I do have a cordless (Li-Ion battery) Bosch screwdriver that's
probably pushing 8 years on and both original batteries are still live.Â
Actually, I found that the battery charger for that works with my
cordless Dremel tool (I also have 2 corded versions that never see the
light of day)
It's easy to underestimate what cordless battery tools can do if you
haven't picked one up in the last 5 years. Unfortunately, my compressor
only sees service these days when I need to throw something in the
'blast cabinet or to run air ratchets (haven't found a reasonable
cordless option for those!).

I was talking to the owner of a pretty big shop (15 or so
bays) a year or so ago. He said none of the techs under 30
had air tools. They all use battery powered tools. He had
to put in new outlet circuits where the off duty toolboxes
are parked <br>
