Steelman 1704 Pneumatic Drill

The Steelman 1704 is a 1/2-inch reversible air drill built for light to medium duty drilling, honing, reaming and fastening tasks. It runs on 90 PSI compressed air delivered through a standard 1/4-inch NPT inlet. The tool suits mechanics and technicians who need a compact pneumatic solution for workshop jobs.

Reversible Chuck and Exhaust Features

A thumb operated switch lets you reverse direction without removing your hand from the tool. Internally redirected exhaust vents back out the handle and away from your face and work project while also helping to reduce operating noise. The 1/2-inch keyed chuck accepts a wide variety of bits and drivers. A removable side handle adds additional control and stability during use.

Variable Speed for Controlled Drilling

A trigger style variable speed throttle lets you determine how much power you need up to a free running speed of 800 RPM. The drill weighs 4.05 pounds and measures 7-inches in length for manageable handling. Buyers who need higher torque for heavy duty applications or a cordless electric alternative should look at something else.

Questions about this item

How often should I lubricate the air motor and chuck on the Steelman 1704?

Apply a few drops of pneumatic-tool oil into the 1/4-inch NPT inlet before each day of use and grease the 1/2-inch keyed chuck threads weekly to keep the 800 RPM free speed consistent.

What stops the drill from running faster when I hold the trigger wide open on a long job?

The 4 CFM at 90 PSI air supply limit caps the motor at 800 RPM; if the compressor or hose cannot maintain that flow, speed drops off first.

How much noise and heat should I expect when the 1704 runs all day?

Internally redirected exhaust vents out the handle, lowering operating noise and keeping the grip cool during extended 800 RPM drilling sessions.
