Picked a pneumatic rivet gun over a battery powered one in the shop today

Honestly, I've been debating between getting a pneumatic and a battery powered rivet gun for months. I went with pneumatic because the old guys swore it lasted longer and had more pulling force, and after running it through 30 rivets on a panel repair, it felt way smoother than I expected. Anyone else stick with air tools over battery for heavy jobs?

Yeah but @christopher_singh92, once you fight with an air hose all day you'll wish you went cordless.

Got a pneumatic chisel last year for frame work. Thing just rips through rusted bolts no problem. Battery tools are convenient but nothing beats that constant air pressure.
