I don't have air tools but I'm sure there are plenty of places where they can save you time/effort. I don't see a huge need for them, except I do have a cheap impact gun I used on the spring compressors, which are really tedious to do by hand.

I like the Park tool Y allen key. A staple in every cyclist tool box.

Great write up.
