Chicago Pneumatic has launched a new range of composite drills for use in maintenance and vehicle repair applications.
The new drills are available in ¼’’, ⅜’’ and ½’’ pistol, straight (in-line) and angle variants. The range comprises of 13 models, including reversible and non-reversible options.
“Our new composite drills are 5% lighter than our previous metal range and extremely robust and convenient to use,” said Yann Pasco, global business development manager for vehicle service at Chicago Pneumatic. “They are built to tackle demanding drilling applications involving either light or heavy vehicles, making them ideal for use in body shops and in general mechanics.”
The drills have a reverse lever located on the top of the drills within easy reach and an easy-to-operate forward and reverse switch to facilitate drilling and reaming. The composite drills also feature a handle exhaust for operator comfort by directing exhaust air away from the user’s face. All models in the range also feature the company’s Ergo Wing, which ensures that the operator’s wrist and tool are aligned for best force transmission. This feature also helps guide the user’s forefinger and provide for greater precision.
The ¼’-, ⅜’- and ½’-inch composite drills deliver speeds ranging from 600 rpm up to 3300 rpm depending on model selection. The ½- and ⅜’-inch models deliver 0.5hp (0.36 kW), while the ¼-inch version provides 0.3 hp (0.23 0kW).
