Air Drills

Air Drill Selection — Quick Reference (Trax Pneumatic)

Pneumatic AIR DRILLS + AIR SCREWDRIVERS from TRAX for INDUSTRIAL maintenance + trade. Lighter than electric + sustained operation + speed range. Workshop + production + automotive + aerospace.

Critical: Match air drill RPM + torque to drilling task. Production sustained use = air-driven advantage over battery (no battery swap). FRL (filter+regulator+lubricator) for tool longevity. Brand: Trax, Sutton Tools. Companion: pneumatic tools, drilling, pneumatics.

Trax Pneumatic Air Drills and Air Screwdrivers for Industrial Maintenance and Trade

Pneumatic air drills and air screwdrivers use compressed air to power drilling and fastener driving operations in industrial, automotive, fabrication and maintenance environments.

Compared to electric drills, air drills are lighter, more compact, and require no motor overload protection — making them the preferred choice in workshops where compressed air is already available and high-cycle production or heavy-duty maintenance use justifies air tool investment.

Air drills are particularly effective for drilling into structural steel, pipe work and equipment frames where a battery-powered drill lacks the torque and durability for sustained use.

AIMS Industrial sells numerous air drill and air screwdriver products from Trax — an industrial air tool and workshop equipment brand supplying maintenance trades, engineering workshops and fabricators across Australia with a broad range of pneumatic tools covering drilling, fastening, grinding, chiselling and more.

The Air Drills Range

Our Trax range covers 3/8” and 1/2” drive pneumatic reversible drills in keyed and keyless chuck formats, adjustable clutch air screwdrivers in 1/4” drive, and air impact screwdrivers.

• 3/8" Reversible Air Drills: Trax ARX-212 and ARX-212KL are 1800 RPM, 3/8” chuck reversible air drills. The KL variant features a keyless chuck for fast bit changes without a chuck key. Suitable for drilling mild steel, aluminium and plastics in general maintenance and fabrication.
• 1/2" Reversible Air Drills: Trax ARX-702KL, ARX-704 and ARX-704KL are 1/2” chuck air drills operating at 500–800 RPM with higher torque output for drilling larger holes in structural steel. The lower RPM and larger chuck capacity suit heavier drilling applications including 12–25mm hole drilling in workshop maintenance and pipework.
• Adjustable Clutch Air Screwdrivers: Trax KPT-SD150, KPT-SD110 and KPT-SD110A are 1/4” drive adjustable clutch air screwdrivers for production fastening. The adjustable torque clutch disengages the drive when the set torque is reached, preventing over-tightening and stripping of fasteners in assembly and production environments.
• Air Impact Screwdriver: The Trax ARX-3009 is a 1/4” composite air impact screwdriver for high-torque fastener driving in production maintenance and assembly line applications. The impact mechanism provides extra torque for driving self-tapping screws and stubborn fasteners.
• Compressed Air Requirements: Air drills typically require 4–6 bar (60–90 PSI) supply pressure and air consumption of 60–200 L/min depending on drill size and duty. Ensure your compressor delivery exceeds the tool’s rated consumption to maintain consistent drilling speed under load.
