Pneumatic Pistol-Grip Drill, 1/2-Inch (13mm) Keyed Chuck, 800 RPM, Air-Powered

Brief Overview

Built for controlled, precision drilling in tight quarters, this pneumatic pistol-grip drill delivers reliable performance across assembly, maintenance, and light fabrication work. The 1/2-inch keyed chuck provides secure bit retention, while the 800 RPM speed balance power with control—making this tool ideal for drilling into metal, composites, and softer materials where accuracy matters. If your shop handles higher-speed applications, consider pairing this with our faster 1800 RPM models for greater versatility across different job types.

Key Features

• Composite Motor Housing – Lightweight yet durable construction reduces operator fatigue during extended use
• 1/2-Inch (13mm) Keyed Chuck – Secure bit grip with T-wrench included; requires manual tightening for precise centering
• Reversing Bar on Both Sides – Instant forward/reverse control; red selector dial at rear for intuitive operation
• Planetary Gear System with Needle Bearings – Smooth power delivery and extended tool life; reduced vibration for better control
• Patented Silencer (83 dB(A)) – Noise-optimized design keeps shop environment manageable; meets industrial noise standards
• 0.5 HP Motor – Sufficient torque for general drilling without excessive air consumption
• Ergonomic Pistol Grip – Textured rubber overmold ensures secure handling; removable auxiliary side handle with multiple mounting positions for operator preference
• Included Accessories – Auxiliary ribbed side handle, mounting collar, rubber seal, and keyed chuck T-wrench

Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin & Turnover: At 800 RPM, this drill positions itself in the controlled-speed segment—a category with consistent demand from automotive assembly shops, maintenance departments, and fabrication facilities. The keyed chuck design ensures repeat business from operators who value precision over speed.

Customer Retention: The reversible design and dual-side control bars appeal to both right- and left-handed operators, expanding your addressable customer base. The auxiliary handle reinforces professional positioning and reduces returns from ergonomic complaints.

Service & Support: Simple keyed chuck design means fewer costly repairs; replacement bits and T-wrenches are inexpensive consumables that drive repeat sales. The composite housing withstands heavy shop use without premature failure.

Competitive Positioning: Differentiates clearly from slower 1/4-inch alternatives while remaining price-competitive against corded electric drills. Ideal for shops already invested in pneumatic infrastructure.

Application Context

This drill excels in scenarios demanding control over raw speed: hole drilling in aluminum housings, fastener hole preparation, composite panel work, and precision assembly where bit wandering creates scrap. The 800 RPM rating makes it unsuitable for high-volume hole production (where 1800+ RPM tools shine) but ideal for quality-critical work where operator feel and reversibility matter.

Value Proposition

Resellers benefit from a tool that addresses a genuine market gap: too slow for high-speed assembly lines, but perfect for maintenance crews and small shops where a single drill must handle varied tasks. The keyed chuck reliability and noise-controlled operation reduce customer complaints and support overhead compared to louder, faster competitors.

Stock this tool for shops transitioning from electric drills to pneumatic systems, and for crews that already run mid-speed pneumatic tooling and need a reliable second unit for precision work.
