when i worked at deere there was a guy that used air hammer for everything and all the damn time. tie rods, grease caps, lugs, studs, clips, pins, bearings, nothing was safe. we used to joke that he used the brrt brrt more than a ratchet, but the dude always beat the book.
Well I'll tell you honestly. It's one of my favorite tools, BUT you have to exercise caution. A lot of people don't. It's a miniature jackhammer and should be treated as such.
