Air Drills
Air Drills drive a drill chuck with a pneumatic motor fed by compressed air through a hose, and are common on manufacturing and repetitive assembly lines with a fixed air supply. Compared with electric drills they are lighter and have no electric motor, though this does not automatically rate them for flammable atmospheres; choose by chuck size, speed, and air consumption against the available compressor capacity.

About this category
Air drills are tools powered by compressed air delivered through an external hose feeding an internal pneumatic motor that drives a drill chuck. Air drills differ from electric drills mainly in their power source, relying on a compressed-air system for operation. They are commonly used in industrial manufacturing and continuous assembly environments where a fixed compressed-air system is available and the work is repetitive. They are relatively light compared to corded electric drills of similar capability, and they lack an internal electric motor that could generate sparks, which may make them suitable for specific environments subject to risk assessment. It should not be inferred that an air drill is automatically rated for flammable atmospheres: any such classification requires model-specific test certification. Air drills are available with various chuck sizes, rotation speeds and air consumption rates. Compressors, hoses, regulators, air filters, air lubricators and drill bits are excluded from this category; compressors and air treatment equipment are available under Compressors. Corded and cordless electric drills are also classified in separate categories because they operate on different power sources. Industrial buyers select air drill models based on the work type, chuck size, available compressed-air system and site requirements including ventilation, noise and temperature conditions.
