After locating an air compressor, the first chore the majority of mechanics do is looking for Air Compressor Parts, like a pneumatic drill motor. These tools are usually more powerful than electric drills, and are just manufactured using sturdier materials which helps them deal with the torque created by high pressure air being blasted through them.
Air drills nearly always include planetary gearing and brass bushings, and the majority come with comfortable handles as well as forward/reverse switches. Some pneumatic drills are available with keyless chucks, but according to many reviews, these keyless chucks are the first part to stop working on an air-powered drill, therefore it might be sensible to avoid that part until it is further perfected.

Air Tool Yearsway is one of the companies to search for along with Ingersoll-Rand has secured a reputation for carefully-built commercial grade machinery, and there is not much chance of harming that reputation any time soon. This 728JA1 General Duty Air Drill is regarded as a consumer-grade pneumatic drill by the maker. Although, the ½ HP power rating and top speed of 3800 RPM imply a pretty powerful hand tool made to shove the right drill bit right through just about anything. Quite a few of you will probably not require this much muscle routinely, but it really is fun to own anyway. The purchase price for this pneumatic drill is almost $270.
Chicago Pneumatic offers a drill which actually could be regarded as a general purpose drill. This manufacturer’s 785 Air Drill is a bit less powerful when set against the Ingersoll-Rand product, but because it can spin up to 2400 RPM, this drill is quite capable of the majority of jobs encountered by the household repairman or the weekend mechanic. The teasing throttle permits the user a wide range of control, and the typical retail price of $100 presents the user with slightly more pocket change.
Some of consumers might prefer larger amounts of pocket change and be patient enough to put up with a little less power. Sunex gives you that choice with this Sunex SX225B reversible drill, which retails for around $70 but will still kick bit. The planetary gearing and reversible speed are still available on this model, and even though the top speed of 1800 RPM guarantees that the drill would be hard pressed to double as a polishing tool, this affordable drill will still sink a hole through a 2×4 or a steel bumper.
If you own or are able to borrow an air compressor, you need to at least really own a pneumatic drill motor. Electric drills come with an advantage or two, but they just can’t match the strength and convenience found with these pneumatic drill motors. Just make certain that the drill motor you invest in could manage your everyday jobs yet leave your bank account afloat. Happy drilling!
