CP1117P05 air drill overview
The Chicago Pneumatic CP1117P05 is a pistol-grip air drill rated at 500 RPM free speed. It delivers torque from 5.55 to 22.20 ft-lb for a range of fastening and drilling tasks. The aluminium housing and ball-bearing construction suit professional workshops and serious DIY users who need a lightweight pneumatic tool.
Build integration and hose requirements
The drill requires a 90 psi supply and a minimum 3/8 in hose to reach its rated performance. At 3.4 lb and 8 in overall length it adds minimal weight to an air line and fits in tight work areas. Average consumption is 7.40 CFM during a 15 second run, rising to 29.8 CFM under full load, so the compressor must sustain that flow.
Sustained-load behaviour
Under continuous use the tool draws 29.8 CFM at full load, which will tax smaller compressors and cause pressure drop if the tank and pump cannot keep pace. The planetary gear train and variable-speed trigger help manage torque delivery during extended cycles. Operators should plan for adequate compressor recovery time to maintain consistent speed.

Questions about this item
How long can I run the CP1117P05 at its 29.8 CFM full-load rating before the compressor needs to recover?
The drill draws 29.8 CFM at full load and the supplier only specifies an average of 7.4 CFM over a 15-second run time, so continuous operation at peak demand will exceed typical shop compressor capacity.
What noise and heat levels should I expect when the drill runs all day at 500 RPM?
The aluminium housing and ball-bearing planetary gear train dissipate heat during extended use, but the supplier provides no decibel or surface-temperature figures for continuous duty cycles.
Which compressor and hose must I already have to operate this 90 psi, 3/8-inch hose drill?
You need a compressor that can deliver 90 psi at 29.8 CFM full-load flow and a minimum 3/8-inch ID hose with a 1/4-inch NPT fitting to match the tool inlet.
