Rockwood Air Drill
Score: 78/100Rankings
The AIRCAT 4338 is a 0.6 HP 3/8-inch composite reversible pneumatic drill designed for precision drilling tasks in automotive, fabrication, and assembly work. It features a lightweight 2.5 lb composite body, a feather trigger for superior speed control, and a patented quiet tuned exhaust operating at 85 dBA. While excellent for precision work, the lower motor power limits its use in heavy-duty applications.
The Rockwood 1/2 Inch Pneumatic Air Drill is a ruggedly designed tool engineered for heavy-duty drilling applications in workshop and industrial settings. It features a 5-vane ball-bearing air motor, variable speed control, and reversible operation to ensure reliable service and versatility. The larger 1/2" chuck and side handle make it ideal for sustained drilling in metal and fabrication.
