Aren't pneumatic chisels somewhat easier to use when doing back boxes,
etc. if you have one?

You can get a lot more power into one than a hand held electric tool
without them overheating.

How long does it take you to chase out a back box?

They are dirt cheap if you already have a decent compressor.

But a decent compressor would need lugging around. And one with enough
power for air tools is going to be large and heavy.

My SDS is a truly ancient DeWalt one - one of the first affordable
lightweight types with roto stop. Cheaper ones came along, but it's still
a good combination of power and manageability.
