I already had the Ryobi 18V circular saw & impact driver but just couldn't pass up the 1/2" drill charger battery & another circular saw for $39 which I'll permanently mount in the guided rail jig I am making.
Then over on another forum someone mentioned that they had the Central Pneumatic pinner & that it worked real good so I figured for $25 I'd give it a try. It does at this time work real good. I don't know how much I'll use it but if I get 3-5 years out of it at least I've not spent a lot of money to find out if I'll get a lot of use out of it.
I tend the think of the battery powered tools as having to be replaced every few years. My Makita 9.6V have held up real good but the batteries cost about $30 & for $39 I was able to get the Ryobi.
