Air, yes. Battery powered, no.
If they both have the same power, The next thing to consider is price and warranty. Milwaukee is cheaper and has a 5 year warranty. And when you’re done with your automotive task, pop the battery in your skill saw for your home projects.
Can’t do that with IR. I’m a HUGE IR fan with 20+ air tools. But in this case, you can’t beat Team Red.

I don’t know what those guys testing them were surprised that the Milwaukee was heavier. These brushless motors have a lot more weight than the brushed.
