Built for production drilling, assembly work, and industrial maintenance, the Ingersoll Rand 6ASST6 Pistol Grip Air Drill delivers 316 in-lbs (35.7 Nm) of maximum working torque, providing substantial turning force for drilling operations where torque and control are more important than high rotational speed. Its 0.51 HP pneumatic motor and 350 RPM free speed make this the slowest, highest-torque model listed in Ingersoll Rand's current 6 Series pistol-grip drill specifications.
The 3/8" (10 mm) bit holder capacity supports commonly used drilling tooling, while 20 CFM air consumption provides a clear requirement for matching the drill to the shop air system. Trigger-start actuation gives the operator direct control from the pistol grip, and double-row ball bearings help maintain precise, concentric hole production during repetitive drilling.
Type: Pistol Grip Air Drill | Series: 6 Series | Model: 6ASST6 | Actuation: Trigger Start | Reversible: No | Rated Power: 0.51 HP | Max. Working Torque: 316 in-lbs (35.7 Nm) | Free Speed: 350 RPM | Bit Holder Capacity: 3/8" (10 mm) | Air Consumption: 20 CFM (560 L/min) | Air Inlet: 1/4" NPT | 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:
- 350 RPM free speed provides controlled rotation for drilling operations where higher working torque is required.
- 316 in-lbs (35.7 Nm) maximum working torque supports higher-resistance drilling tasks within the tool's specified capacity.
- Double-row ball bearings help produce precise, concentric holes during repetitive production drilling.
- High-quality chuck construction supports durability in harsh working environments.
- Trigger-start actuation provides convenient speed control directly from the pistol-grip handle.
- 3/8" (10 mm) bit holder capacity accommodates compatible drilling tooling for production, fabrication, and maintenance work.
- 0.8" (21 mm) side-to-center distance helps position the drill near workpiece edges and adjacent surfaces.

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, higher-torque pneumatic drilling.
- Metal fabrication work where a lower spindle speed is appropriate for the selected bit and material.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO drilling on machinery, fixtures, and equipment components.
- Manufacturing workstations performing repetitive drilling with a compressed-air tool.
- Professional fabrication and repair shops requiring a 3/8" pistol-grip drill with substantial working torque.
FAQs:
- Q: How much torque does the Ingersoll Rand 6ASST6 provide?
A: The 6ASST6 provides up to 316 in-lbs (35.7 Nm) of maximum working torque. Ingersoll Rand pairs this output with a 350 RPM free speed, making the model particularly suited to applications that prioritize torque and controlled rotation. - Q: What size tooling can the 6ASST6 accept?
A: The specified bit holder capacity is 3/8" (10 mm). Always select drill bits and other tooling that fit the holder correctly and are appropriate for the material and drilling operation. - Q: How much air does the 6ASST6 consume?
A: Ingersoll Rand specifies air consumption of 20 CFM and a 1/4" NPT air inlet. The compressed-air system should be capable of supplying the required airflow at the tool during operation. - Q: Is the Ingersoll Rand 6ASST6 reversible?
A: No. Ingersoll Rand lists the 6ASST6 as a non-reversible model with trigger-start actuation. - Q: How does the 6ASST6 differ from the 6ARST6?
A: Both are 3/8" 6 Series pistol-grip drills, but their speed and torque ratings differ. The 6ASST6 runs at 350 RPM with 316 in-lbs of maximum working torque, while the 6ARST6 runs at 500 RPM with 222.2 in-lbs, giving buyers a choice between greater torque and higher rotational speed.
