After purchasing an air compressor, the first chore many mechanics accomplish is searching for Air Compressor Parts, like a pneumatic drill motor. These drills are normally more powerful than electric drills, and are almost always manufactured using sturdier materials which helps them endure the torque caused by high pressure air being forced through them.
Air drills nearly always include planetary gearing and brass bushings, and most offer user-friendly handles in addition to forward/reverse switches. A few pneumatic drills come with keyless chucks, yet according to several reviews, the keyless chucks are the first part to stop working on an air-powered drill, therefore it might be best to stay away from that assembly until it is better perfected.
Air Tool Yearsway is one of the companies to search for along with Ingersoll-Rand has won a reputation for properly-engineered heavy duty products, and there is no chance of hurting that reputation too terribly soon. This 728JA1 General Duty Air Drill is rated a run-of-the-mill tool by its manufacturer. However, the ½ HP power rating and top speed of 3800 RPM indicate a fairly powerful drill motor which can shove a drill bit right through virtually anything. Quite a few of you will probably not need this much torque normally, yet it sure is enjoyable to handle anyway. The purchase price for this tool is approximately $270.

Chicago Pneumatic makes a drill which actually would be labeled a general purpose drill. This manufacturer’s 785 Air Drill is a bit more sedate than the Ingersoll-Rand version, but since it can spin as fast as 2400 RPM, the 785 is very suitable for most jobs performed by the domestic repairman or the hobby mechanic. The teasing throttle permits the user very sensitive speed control, and the normal retail price of $100 presents the user with some more pocket change.
Some of handymen might prefer larger amounts of pocket change and be patient enough to deal with a bit less power. Sunex offers you that option with this Sunex SX225B reversible drill, which sells for approximately $70 although it can still kick bit. The planetary gearing and reversible speed are still available on this model, and although the top speed of 1800 RPM means that it could not double as a dental tool, this very basic drill can still chew a hole through a 2×4 or a window frame.
If you posses or can regularly rent an air compressor, you need to at least additionally have a pneumatic drill motor. Electric drills offer an advantage or two, yet they just can’t compete with the torque and convenience of those pneumatic drill motors. Just make certain that the model you buy can power through your normal jobs yet keep your credit score intact. Happy drilling!
