Are Pneumatic Screwdrivers Useful?

[ricepudding]

As the the title asks, are pneumatic screwdrivers useful? Or are they just a fun gadget to have? I was just looking at a few cheap ones, and was pondering the idea.

Yes they are a great help if you plan to use them a lot. They save wear and tear on your wrists

Depends on your use. I have two now that come out on occasion, typically for applicnace work where a large number of screws need to come out. They are real popular in the avaition industry. I will say though, the only reason I have the ones I do is because they were purchsed super cheap via garage sales. Definitely something I could live without.
