Industrial Pistol Air Drill
The SPEEDAIRE 12V744 is a new pneumatic pistol drill built for industrial use. It delivers a free speed of 2,000 RPM and 5.40 ft-lb of torque through a planetary gear train. The composite housing and handle keep the tool weight at 1.9 lb. A variable-speed trigger provides control across drilling tasks.
Required Air Supply Checks
Confirm your compressor can maintain 90 psi at the tool inlet during operation. The drill consumes 3.50 CFM on average over a 15-second run and 20.0 CFM at full load. Use a hose with at least 3/8 in internal diameter to avoid pressure drop. Ensure fittings match the 1/4 in chuck capacity before connecting.
Upgrade From Lower-Capacity Drills
This model replaces lighter-duty air drills that lack the torque or airflow capacity for sustained industrial work. The jump is worth it when jobs demand consistent 5.40 ft-lb output and a durable composite body with ball bearings. It is not suited for buyers who need a right-angle head for tight access or a cordless electric alternative.

Questions about this item
Does the SPEEDAIRE 12V744 come with the 3/8 in hose and fittings, or must they be purchased separately?
The drill requires a minimum 3/8 in hose and 90 psi supply; hose and fittings are not included and must be bought separately.
Should I choose this 2,000 RPM model or a lower-speed version for general fastening work?
At 2,000 RPM free speed with 5.40 ft-lb torque and planetary gearing, this pistol drill suits general fastening; select a lower-RPM model only if you need more torque at slower speed.
What does the 3.50 average CFM figure mean for my compressor sizing?
Average CFM of 3.50 at a 15-second run time shows typical air demand; size your compressor to deliver at least that flow at 90 psi for continuous operation.
