Built for production drilling, assembly work, and industrial maintenance, the Ingersoll Rand 6ARST6 Pistol Grip Air Drill delivers 222.2 in-lbs (25.1 Nm) of maximum working torque at a controlled 500 RPM free speed. This high-torque, lower-speed combination gives operators greater control when drilling applications place more resistance on the bit, while the 0.51 HP pneumatic motor supplies power for repetitive shop-floor work.
A 3/8" (10 mm) bit holder capacity accommodates commonly used drilling tooling, while 20 CFM air consumption helps buyers determine whether their compressed-air system can adequately supply the tool. Trigger-start actuation provides direct control from the pistol grip, and the non-reversible configuration keeps operation straightforward for production drilling, fabrication, and equipment maintenance tasks.
Type: Pistol Grip Air Production Drill | Series: 6 Series | Model: 6ARST6 | Actuation: Trigger Start | Reversible: No | Rated Power: 0.51 HP | Max. Working Torque: 222.2 in-lbs (25.1 Nm) | Free Speed: 500 RPM | Bit Holder Capacity: 3/8" (10 mm) | Air Consumption: 20 CFM (560 L/min) | Air Inlet: 1/4" NPT | Minimum Hose Size: 3/8" | Weight with Chuck: 3.0 lb (1.4 kg) | Length with Chuck: 8.3" (210 mm) | Side-to-Center Distance: 0.8" (21 mm) | Sound Level: 74 dB(A)
Features:
- Double-row ball bearings support precise, concentric hole production during repetitive drilling operations.
- High-quality chuck construction supports reliable operation in harsh working environments.
- Trigger-start actuation gives the operator convenient control directly from the pistol-grip handle.
- 500 RPM free speed combined with 222.2 in-lbs of maximum working torque suits applications that favor torque and drilling control over high rotational speed.
- 3/8" bit holder capacity accommodates compatible drilling tooling for production, fabrication, and maintenance work.
- Compact 0.8" side-to-center distance helps position the drill closer to adjacent surfaces and workpiece edges.
- Non-reversible configuration provides straightforward operation for forward drilling applications.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life and lessen repair costs use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRLs)
Made in USA: ![]()
Applications:
- Production and assembly operations requiring controlled, repeatable pneumatic drilling.
- Metal fabrication work where lower drilling speed and higher working torque are useful for compatible materials and hole sizes.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO tasks involving machinery, fixtures, and equipment repairs.
- Manufacturing workstations equipped with compressed-air systems for repetitive drilling operations.
- Professional repair and fabrication shops requiring a 3/8" pistol-grip pneumatic drill.
FAQs:
- Q: How much torque does the Ingersoll Rand 6ARST6 provide?
A: The 6ARST6 is rated for 222.2 in-lbs (25.1 Nm) of maximum working torque. Combined with its 500 RPM speed, this makes it the higher-torque, lower-speed option compared with faster models in the 6 Series pistol-grip range. - Q: What size drill bits can the 6ARST6 accept?
A: The specified bit holder capacity is 3/8" (10 mm). Tooling should be selected according to the chuck capacity, workpiece material, and drilling requirements. - Q: How much compressed air does the 6ARST6 require?
A: Ingersoll Rand specifies air consumption of 20 CFM (560 L/min) and a 1/4" NPT air inlet. The IntlAirTool specification also lists a 3/8" minimum hose size, so the air system should be sized to maintain adequate flow to the drill. - Q: Is the Ingersoll Rand 6ARST6 reversible?
A: No. The manufacturer lists the 6ARST6 as a non-reversible, trigger-start pneumatic drill. - Q: What is the difference between the 6ARST6 and faster 6 Series drills?
A: The 6ARST6 operates at 500 RPM and emphasizes higher working torque rather than high rotational speed. Other 6 Series models are available at higher speeds with correspondingly different torque ratings, allowing buyers to select a drill around the requirements of the application.
