I just retired after 45 years as an aircraft mechanic and I have one full drawer on my roll-away of nothing but air drills. single speed, variable speed, high speed and slow motors. You can't beat them for drilling in hard material like stainless steel, titanium and exotics like boron composites and Kevlar. The only down side is the price. My go to drill is (was) a Sioux 3//8 variable speed reversible that cost me $800 10 years ago. If you make a living with them, spend the bucks because a good one will last a lifetime.
since when is 10 years a lifetime?🤨
@@jessihawkins9116 I only had mine for 10 years before I retired. It's in my home shop now and still runs like new. I never said 10 years was a lifetime, I said a good tool will last a lifetime. But that being said, I worked with older guys over the years that had bought and used that same model drill for 40 or 50 years. I also have a Dotco 90* drill that I bought used a couple years ago that was made in the 60's (per the ser#) and still runs great.
@@dennythomas8887pay no attention to Jesse! The other issue with even buying a power tool that may last more than a decade is they change the battery platform to force you. Air tool will never be made obsolete
Comparing a $800 air drill to a $80 power drill isnt really fair. Now if you compare it to a $800 power drill with an ESC, brushless high torque motor and high quality planetary gear, it would be more of an apples to apples comparison.
Where the air tool cannot easily be beat is compactness. The more bearable grabbing behavior is down to that a power drill has more spun mass behind a gearbox, though I think a torque sensor and some smarter chip could solve that.
@@RoddyDabatteries aren’t that hard to replace either though. Even if the manufacturer discontinues that specific battery pack you can just take out the cells and spot weld in new ones. It’s very easy and maybe takes 15 minutes.
My Quincy compressor has worked flawlessly for over 30 years. Admittedly, you can no longer rely on "tried & true" brand names to yield reliable quality.
To drill thin metal such as that, place a thick piece of metal under it and then use your mag drill. The two pieces of steel will act as a single piece as far as the magnet is concerned.
ChuckE2009 I didn't know you were still around..
I've got the HF chief 1/2 and 3/8 air drills now at work. Might even get the 90°
absolutely agree. people are spending way over their heads on battery tools that will have to replace 50 times in the life of an air tool. then they wonder how they are all the time in debt.
drilling speed control is a big deal. i drill all sizes of holes and have a 4speed electric drill to handle that. it has plenty of torque even with a 24mm drill and i have detachable mandables so i can quick switch between multiple tools/drills. its where i have to switch to an 4.2mm hole and then tap it to 5mm where speed management becomes mega important. drill it on speed 4, tap on speed 1, flick of the switch. you would not be able to do this with a pneumatic tool like this...
@@thegiantgaming7592 yeah, you can with finger control and spend a little more for speed control settings. They can do the same and stay cooler and last longer. I wouldn’t use one as a mechanic though, because I couldn’t imagine having to deal with a hose under a hood. The hose is the biggest downfall.
@@thegiantgaming7592 don't know what a mandable is but two things, an air drill has speed control on the trigger so drilling and tapping are totally ok. and the fact you can stall the tool and not burn the crp out of the motor is a plus :) you mention an electric corded or battery?
@@randomschittz9461 yup... but you learn to live with the hose and a swivel coupling helps a lot. have my grandfather's air tools still running, bearings, seals and rotor blades is all what they need. clean dry air is a must.
@@thebrokenbone battery powered, 4 speed with trigger control. The mandable/chuck is detachable for quick switching between functions.
Where did you get that air tool handle adapter?
something no-one ever mentions is heating the air.
century ago, when compressed air was more popular on a large scale, an air re-heater, basically a kero lantern stuffed in a sealed box, was fairly common...
your compressor squeezes all the heat out of the air as it shoves it in your tank.
you let that air out, thinking the pressure is doing the work, the air flow, but whats really happening is its cooling down, absorbing heat from the surrounds, and can only expand to so much of its previous volume before having no more pressure left to do work. its denser, colder...
if you had it all insulated, youre approaching the linde process for air liquefaction... it doesnt expand, it liquefies. extreme case!
grab a multi row oil cooler, wack on some airline fittings, and throw it in a bucket of boiling water... or over a gas burner... something hot... dont need anything over 100C, tool will get too hot.
somewhere i got a nice graph showing the effects of a bit of heat upon final temps and expansion curves... just expanding from 2 or 3 atmospheres reduces the temps to below freezing. try looking that sort of stuff up today, and youre faced with meaningless charts that just dont show the same thing so clearly. university phd level techno-babble that doesnt convey much either...
meh. conclusion. heat the air and you will be surprised.
drive a car? guess what it does as a fundamental basic of its operation?
you got it. compresses air... then heats it up. also then throws most of it out the back, but whatever...
add heat.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. I LOVE USING AIR TOOLS WHEN I CAN. I NEED TO START INVESTING IN HIGH-QUALITY TOOLS. TO GET JOBS DONE QUICKER AND BETTER.
I came for the air drill but left because of the music that was really annoying.
Ahh bummer, I hate that this content creator didn’t psychically know your preferred music genre! What a let down
That's something I've planing to add to my welding truck
Ingersoll rand is not made in China it is made in Pennsylvania USA
Good machines. Like Atlas Copco (The ones made in Sweden).

sharpen that drill bit. use oil.
how much psi needed
Could have done that with battery drill and used 1/50 of energy this inefficient thing took
Flawless
Anytime you cut into solid metal more than 3/32nds of an inch, you need to use an electromagnet drill with a metal cutting arbor/bit.
I've had good luck with suitable stepper bits up to 1" diameter on material up to 1/4" thick, using a regular battery powered drill, though i'd love to have a mag drill, if I did enough of that sort of drilling to justify it.
no
Why?
True, a magnet drill even takes on Corten and 650 steel.
3 x 4 (feet?) sheet, 8th inch, 96 gallons back to the stone age are we?
