CP1117P26 pistol air drill
The Chicago Pneumatic CP1117P26 is a 3/8-inch keyed-chuck pistol drill built for industrial duty. It delivers 1.00 HP and a free speed of 2,600 RPM with a torque range of 1.17 to 4.70 ft-lb. Variable-speed trigger control and ball-bearing construction support precision work in metal, wood and composite materials.
Suited for production lines and maintenance bays
This tool suits operators who need a lightweight aluminium-housing drill for repetitive drilling and fastening at 90 psi supply pressure. It is not for buyers who require a reversible spindle for screw extraction, nor for those needing a keyless chuck for rapid bit changes. Users without a 3/8-inch minimum hose and 1/4-inch NPT fitting should look elsewhere.
Sustained-load behaviour
At full load the drill consumes 29.8 CFM, while the 15-second average draw is 7.40 CFM, so a compressor sized for continuous high flow is essential. The aluminium housing and ball bearings dissipate heat during extended cycles, and the trigger throttle modulates speed without stalling. Performance remains consistent provided inlet pressure holds at 90 psi.

Questions about this item
What compressor output is needed to run this 2600 rpm pistol air drill at its rated 90 psi and 29.8 CFM full-load demand?
A compressor that can sustain 29.8 CFM at 90 psi with a minimum 3/8 in hose is required; smaller units will cause pressure drop and reduced drill speed.
Will the 1/4 in NPT air inlet on this CP1117P26 connect directly to my existing 1/4 in quick-connect fittings without adapters?
Yes, the 1/4 in NPT inlet mates with standard 1/4 in industrial quick-connect plugs; use thread sealant on the NPT threads to prevent leaks.
How can I confirm the drill is delivering its specified 1.17 to 4.70 ft-lb torque range after installation?
At 90 psi supply pressure, the variable-speed trigger should produce smooth acceleration to 2600 rpm; torque feels firm but controllable when drilling steel with a sharp 3/8 in bit.
