Drills & Drivers — Quick Reference
AIMS stocks corded electric drills and pneumatic (air-powered) drills and drivers for workshop, maintenance and industrial use. This range is genuinely mains-powered and air-tool — for cordless, battery-powered drills, drivers and impact drivers, see our separate Cordless Power Tools range.
| Type | Power Source | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Rotary Drill (2-Speed / 3-Speed) | Corded (mains) | General-purpose drilling, workshop and bench use |
| Impact Drill (Percussion) | Corded (mains) | Masonry and concrete drilling, geared or keyless chuck |
| Rotary Hammer (SDS Max) | Corded (mains) | Heavy demolition and structural drilling |
| Right-Angle Drill | Corded (mains) | Confined-space drilling — joists, ceiling voids, cavities |
| Reversible Air Drill | Pneumatic (compressed air) | Continuous-duty workshop and production drilling |
| Air Impact Driver / Screwdriver | Pneumatic (compressed air) | High-volume fastening on the bench or production line |
Brands stocked in this range: Metabo (corded drills — the bulk of this range) and HiKOKI (corded rotary hammer) for mains-powered tools, plus Trax for pneumatic reversible drills and air impact drivers.
Corded Electric Drills
Most of AIMS' Drills & Drivers range is corded, mains-powered equipment built for sustained workshop and industrial duty rather than intermittent site use — no battery to run flat mid-job, and generally a lower cost per tool for fleet or bench setups.
Rotary Drills
Standard 2-speed and 3-speed corded drills cover general drilling in timber and metal. Metabo's range spans from the compact 850W BE 850-2 (13mm keyless chuck, 3,100 rpm) up to the heavier-duty B 32/3 (1,800W, three-speed), suited to repetitive bench and production drilling where a cordless tool's battery life and weight aren't the priority.
Impact Drills
An impact (percussion) drill adds a hammer action to the rotary drive for drilling into masonry and concrete, in addition to normal rotary drilling in timber and metal. Metabo's corded impact drills range from a 1,010W keyless-chuck model through to 2-speed models with restart and overload protection — a safety feature that keeps the tool from restarting unexpectedly after a power interruption, and cuts out under sustained overload to protect the motor.
Rotary Hammer (SDS Max)
For heavier demolition and structural drilling, HiKOKI's DH40MEY2 is a 1,150W brushless SDS Max rotary hammer — a corded tool built for repeated heavy-duty drilling and light demolition, not a battery-powered site tool.
Right-Angle Drill
Metabo's WBE 700 (700W, 2,600 rpm) is a purpose-built right-angle drill for drilling in confined spaces — between joists, inside ceiling voids and wall cavities — where a standard inline drill won't physically fit.
Pneumatic (Air) Drills & Drivers
Trax supplies AIMS' pneumatic drill and driver range — air tools run from a workshop compressor and airline rather than a battery or mains lead, and are common where continuous-duty use, a lighter tool-in-hand, or an explosive-atmosphere-safe tool is required.
Reversible Air Drills
Trax's reversible air drills span a mini 1/4" piston drill (ARX-T852S) through to 3/8" models including the keyless carbonate-body ARX-213KL and the Kawasaki-motor KPT-62SD (500 rpm). All are reversible for drilling and light fastening work on the bench or production line.
Air Impact Drivers & Screwdrivers
The Trax ARX-OP6SL is a 1/4" air impact driver, and the KPT-851D is a Kawasaki-motor 1/4" impact screwdriver running at 16,000 rpm — both built for high-volume fastening where a compressed-air supply is already on hand, rather than for cordless site work.
Corded vs Pneumatic — Which Suits Your Job
Corded electric drills need only a mains outlet and suit any workshop, bench or site with power on hand — no compressor, no battery charging cycle. Pneumatic drills and drivers need a compressor and airline but are typically lighter in hand for their power output, well suited to repetitive fastening or drilling on a production bench where an airline is already run. Neither needs battery charging or replacement, unlike cordless tools — for a battery-powered drill, driver or impact driver, see our Cordless Power Tools collection instead.

FAQs
Is this range cordless or corded?
This Drills & Drivers collection is corded (mains-powered) and pneumatic (compressed-air) equipment. For battery-powered cordless drills, drivers and impact drivers, see our separate Cordless Power Tools collection.
What's the difference between a rotary drill and an impact drill?
A rotary drill spins only, suited to timber and metal. An impact (percussion) drill adds a hammer action behind the rotary drive so it can also drill into masonry and concrete, in addition to normal rotary drilling.
When would I need a rotary hammer instead of an impact drill?
A rotary hammer, like the HiKOKI DH40MEY2 SDS Max, is built for heavier and more sustained drilling and light demolition in concrete and masonry than a standard impact drill is designed for.
What is a right-angle drill used for?
A right-angle drill has a compact, angled head that fits into confined spaces — between joists, inside ceiling voids and wall cavities — where a standard inline drill is too long to fit.
Do I need a compressor for a pneumatic drill or air impact driver?
Yes — pneumatic tools like the Trax reversible drills and air impact drivers run on compressed air from a workshop compressor and airline, not a battery or mains lead.
Can I get trade or bulk pricing on drills and drivers?
Yes — submit a Request a Quote or call (02) 9773 0122 and our team will price your order.
