Score: 85/100Rankings
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 Astro Pneumatic 525C is a lightweight, reversible pneumatic drill designed for versatile drilling and driving applications with full power in both directions. Its moderate speed and moderate torque make it a balanced tool for general maintenance rather than heavy construction. It is best suited for professionals requiring a portable pneumatic drill where battery tools are impractical.
