An air drill for shops that already run a compressor. No cord, no battery, no motor to burn out — just 2,100 RPM as long as the line is charged.

At 2.6 lbs it's roughly a pound lighter than the lightest corded drill in the DeWalt line, because there's no electric motor inside. That's the trade pneumatic makes: you give up portability and gain a tool that's lighter, simpler, and effectively unburnable. Stall it all day and nothing cooks — a real advantage in production and assembly work where an electric drill would eventually give up.

The quick-change keyless chuck takes bits one-handed with no key to lose. A variable-speed trigger gives you control off the line rather than all-or-nothing, and the forward/reverse switch is positioned for one-handed operation, so you can back a bit out without repositioning your grip.

Shock-resistant housing bumpers protect the tool when it gets set down hard or dropped, which on a shop floor is a matter of when, not if. Exhaust vents through the handle, directing air away from the work rather than blowing chips back at your face.

Air requirements: 90 PSI max, 1/4" NPT (F) inlet, 3/8" recommended hose. Average consumption at load is 4.3 CFM — check your compressor's rating before ordering. A small pancake compressor won't keep up with sustained drilling.

Suits automotive shops, fabrication, assembly lines, and maintenance operations with air already plumbed in.
