Pistol-grip: ergonomic for general handheld drilling work — the trigger is positioned for natural grip, the body is balanced for one-handed operation. The general-purpose standard. Best for general trade workshop and automotive work. Straight-body: inline body design with the trigger at the rear or side — gives access to restricted spaces (drilling between two close-spaced surfaces, drilling overhead in tight spaces) where a pistol-grip body wouldn't fit. Slower for general use but essential for restricted-access work. Most trade workshops keep both for different tasks.

Keyed chuck: requires a chuck-key to tighten and loosen, gives stronger grip on the drill bit (less slippage under heavy drilling load), better suited to large drill bits and steel/structural drilling. The trade workshop standard for heavy work. Keyless chuck: hand-tightened, faster bit changes, but slightly less grip on the bit (some slippage possible in heavy drilling). Better suited to general workshop use where bits change frequently. For heavy-duty drilling (10mm+ holes in steel), keyed chuck is preferred. The chuck type is on every product page.

Clockwise-only air drills: simpler internal mechanism, lower cost, suitable for general drilling. Reversible air drills: have an additional control to select reverse direction — useful for backing out broken drill bits, driving and removing taps for thread cutting, and removing fasteners. Reversible drills add a small cost premium but are essential for thread-cutting work. For general workshops doing a mix of drilling and tapping, reversible is the practical choice. The rotation direction is on every product page.

Yes. Matched drill bits (HSS general-purpose drilling, cobalt for hardened steel, masonry for concrete and brickwork, step-drills for hole-enlarging), taps and tap-handles (for thread cutting in metric and imperial sizes), chuck adapters (for non-standard bit shanks, hex-drive accessories, square-drive accessories), and matched accessory cases are available across the air-tool accessory range.

Air Drills

View as Grid List

Within Compressors > Air Tools, Air Drills covers the pneumatic drilling tools used in metalwork, fabrication, automotive, plant-equipment service, and the wider trade and industrial workshop applications — covering pistol-grip air drills (the standard handheld pattern), straight-body air drills (for inline drilling in restricted spaces), low-speed high-torque air drills (for heavy hole-drilling in steel and structural work), and reversible-direction air drills (for tap-driving and reverse drilling).

Parts for Machines supplies air drills across the trade and industrial ranges. Air-powered drills are preferred over electric in many production-trade applications — high power-to-weight ratio, no thermal de-rating under continuous use, sealed motor immune to dust and moisture contamination, and excellent torque control via air-pressure regulation.

We are an authorised distributor and seller of SIP, Nuair, and Sealey across the air drill range. SIP covers the broadest selection — pistol-grip air drills in various capacity ranges, straight-body variants for inline use, and the matched chuck and accessory hardware. Nuair extends the range with workshop and contractor air drills. Sealey covers trade-grade air drills with specific variants for automotive and plant-equipment service.

Product pages list the chuck capacity (typical 6mm, 10mm, 13mm — the maximum drill-bit diameter the chuck can grip), the chuck type (keyless or keyed — keyed gives better grip for heavy-duty drilling; keyless is faster for changing bits), the rated free speed (typical 1,800-3,000 RPM for general air drills; lower for heavy-duty variants), the rated air consumption (in CFM at 90psi — typical 3-8 CFM), the recommended air pressure, the air inlet thread (typical 1/4″ BSP), the body type (pistol-grip or straight), the rotation direction (clockwise-only or reversible), the body weight, and the noise/vibration ratings. Trade pricing on bulk and contractor orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
