Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC T024242 is a 3/8 inch keyed/keyless chuck air drill designed for production and maintenance work where a reliable pneumatic drilling tool is required. Powered by compressed air at 90 psi, it delivers 2,400 RPM and 3.10 ft/lb of torque through a 0.5 HP motor housed in a pistol grip body. At 7.0 inches overall length and 2.4 pounds, it is compact enough for tight spaces on the shop floor or in the field. HVAC technicians, mechanical contractors, pipefitters, and general maintenance professionals are the typical users of this tool.

This air drill is suited for light to medium drilling tasks in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance applications. The pistol grip handle gives the operator consistent control during drilling. The dual chuck system accepts both keyed and keyless chuck operation, adding flexibility when changing bits.
