Cleco 135DPV-28B-51 Non-Reversible Variable Speed Pistol Drill | 135DPV Series | 2600 RPM | 3/8" Chuck | Rear Exhaust

Built for faster production drilling, assembly work, and maintenance jobs that call for controlled speed at the trigger, the Cleco 135DPV-28B-51 is a non-reversible variable speed pistol drill from the 135DPV Series. It's 2,600 RPM free speed supports quicker hole production in smaller-diameter drilling applications, while the 3/8" chuck fits common drill bit sizes used across fabrication, repair, and assembly work. The non-reversible layout keeps the tool focused on forward drilling operations, making it a practical choice for repetitive hole-making rather than screwdriving or fastener removal.

The 135DPV-28B-51 uses variable speed trigger control, allowing the operator to start gradually before bringing the drill up to speed. This helps reduce bit walking when starting holes and gives better feed control when moving between different materials. Rear exhaust routes discharged air away from the work surface, helping keep chips, layout marks, and the drilling area easier to manage during shop or production use.

Type: Pneumatic Pistol Drill | Series: 135DPV Series | Model: 135DPV-28B-51 | Reversibility: Non-Reversible | Speed Control: Variable Speed | Free Speed: 2,600 RPM | Chuck Size: 3/8" | Chuck Type: 3-Jaw Chuck | Exhaust: Rear Exhaust | Air Pressure: 90 PSI / 620 kPa | Air Inlet: 1/4" NPT | Minimum Hose Size: 1/4" / 6 mm

Features:

• Variable speed trigger control supports gradual starts, better feed control, and cleaner hole positioning during drilling.
• 2,600 RPM free speed is suited to faster drilling cycles with compatible bit sizes and materials.
• 3/8" 3-jaw chuck accepts common drill bits used for assembly, repair, and general shop drilling.
• Non-reversible configuration is focused on forward drilling applications where reverse operation is not required.
• Rear exhaust helps direct air away from the workpiece to reduce air blast across chips, coolant, or layout marks.
• Pistol grip format gives technicians a familiar hand position for bench work, fixture drilling, and field maintenance tasks.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions, service manual, 3-jaw chuck, and chuck key.

Applications:

• Production assembly — drilling repeat holes in panels, brackets, housings, and fixtures where faster cycle speed is useful.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — completing pilot holes, repair drilling, and hardware installation around plant equipment.
• Fabrication shops — air-powered drilling for sheet metal, light plate, fixtures, and bench-held workpieces.
• Aerospace and transportation repair — controlled drilling in aluminum, composite-compatible operations, and general component service.
• Garage and service benches — everyday drilling tasks where a 3/8" pneumatic pistol drill is preferred over a larger 1/2" chuck model.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the Cleco 135DPV-28B-51 reversible?
  A: No. This model is non-reversible and is intended for forward drilling operations only.
• Q: What type of work is the 2,600 RPM speed best suited for?
  A: The 2,600 RPM speed is useful for faster drilling cycles with compatible smaller-diameter bits and appropriate materials. Always match bit size, material, and feed pressure to the drill manufacturer’s recommendations and shop procedure.
• Q: What is the difference between the 135DPV-28B-51 and the 135DPV-14B-51?
  A: Both are 135DPV Series non-reversible variable speed pistol drills with 3/8" chuck configurations, but the 135DPV-28B-51 runs at 2,600 RPM while the 135DPV-14B-51 runs at 1,250 RPM. Choose the higher-speed model for faster drilling with compatible smaller bits, and the lower-speed model when more controlled lower-speed drilling is preferred.
• Q: What does rear exhaust mean on this drill?
  A: Rear exhaust means the discharged air exits toward the rear of the tool instead of directly at the work surface. This can help reduce chip movement and air blast around the hole location.
• Q: Does this drill include a chuck and chuck key?
  A: Yes. Standard equipment includes a 3-jaw chuck and chuck key, along with operating instructions and a service manual.
