Ingersoll Rand DG022B-26-A Pneumatic Pistol Grip Drill | 0.25 HP | 2,600 RPM | 1/4" Chuck Capacity

For production drilling operations involving smaller holes and repetitive assembly work, the Ingersoll Rand DG022B-26-A Pneumatic Pistol Grip Drill offers a compact combination of drilling speed, precision, and pneumatic power. Part of the 20 Series Air Production Drills, this model operates at 2,600 RPM free speed (the rotational speed without drilling resistance) and delivers 14.4 in-lbs (1.6 Nm) of stall torque for lighter drilling applications where higher rotational speed is more important than substantial turning force. Its 1/4" (6 mm) chuck capacity accommodates appropriately sized drill bit shanks, while the 0.25 HP pneumatic motor provides power for repetitive hole-making. The pistol grip configuration and trigger-start operation make this drill suitable for manufacturing workstations, fixture drilling, precision metalworking, and industrial assembly tasks involving smaller fastener holes.

The Ingersoll Rand DG022B-26-A incorporates a responsive two-stage trigger that allows operators to begin drilling at a lower speed before increasing rotation as the drill bit engages the workpiece. Its high-performance motor and compact design provide a favorable power-to-weight ratio for repeated handheld operations. Measuring just 5.7" (146 mm) in overall length and weighing 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg), the tool is easy to position around fixtures and closely spaced components. A 0.7" (17 mm) side-to-center distance (the clearance from the spindle centerline to the side of the tool) helps when drilling near adjacent surfaces. The drill uses a 1/4" NPT air inlet, consumes 15 CFM (420 L/min), and requires a 5/16" (8 mm) minimum hose internal diameter for an appropriately sized compressed-air supply.

Features:

• 2,600 RPM free speed supports smaller-diameter drilling operations where higher bit rotation is appropriate for the material and cutting conditions.
• 0.25 HP high-performance pneumatic motor provides power for fast, smooth hole drilling in production and assembly environments.
• 14.4 in-lbs stall torque offers a defined turning-force rating for comparing the drill with other 20 Series configurations.
• 1/4" chuck capacity accommodates compatible smaller drill bit shanks for detailed drilling work.
• Responsive two-stage trigger provides additional control when starting a hole, helping the operator position the bit before increasing drilling speed.
• Compact 5.7" overall length and 1.5 lb weight reduce the amount of tool weight handled during repetitive drilling operations.
• 0.7" side-to-center distance provides useful clearance for drilling near fixtures, brackets, and adjacent workpiece features.
• 20 Series construction combines a classic pistol grip arrangement with a favorable power-to-weight ratio for production drilling.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL)

Applications:

• Manufacturing and production assembly – Drilling smaller holes in components, brackets, and subassemblies at repetitive handheld drilling stations.
• Precision metalworking – Preparing appropriately sized holes in thin metal parts and machined components using suitable drill bits and cutting conditions.
• Tooling and fixture construction – Drilling mounting and locating holes in workholding fixtures and assembly components where controlled starting is beneficial.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO – Performing light drilling operations on equipment panels, brackets, and replacement components during routine repairs.
• Automotive component assembly – Producing smaller holes in accessible parts and subassemblies where a compact pneumatic drill is appropriate.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the Ingersoll Rand DG022B-26-A best suited for? A: This 20 Series pistol grip drill is suited to repetitive, smaller-diameter drilling in manufacturing, metalworking, and industrial assembly. Its 2,600 RPM free speed and 1/4" chuck capacity make it a useful option where compact size and appropriate cutting speed are priorities. Actual drilling capability depends on the workpiece material, bit diameter, and cutting conditions.
• Q: How does the DG022B-26-A compare with the DG022B-15-A? A: Both drills have a 1/4" chuck capacity and 0.25 HP motor. The DG022B-26-A operates at 2,600 RPM with 14.4 in-lbs of stall torque, while the DG022B-15-A operates at 1,500 RPM with 25.2 in-lbs. Select the higher-speed model for suitable smaller-hole drilling or the slower model when greater stall torque is required.
• Q: What compressed-air supply does the DG022B-26-A require? A: Ingersoll Rand specifies 15 CFM (420 L/min) air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a minimum hose internal diameter of 5/16" (8 mm). Select a compressor and air distribution system that can deliver the necessary airflow at the operating pressure required by the tool. Allow for pressure losses through hoses, couplings, and air preparation equipment.
• Q: What is the purpose of the two-stage trigger? A: The responsive two-stage trigger helps the operator start a hole at reduced speed before increasing rotation. This provides additional control during initial drill bit engagement, particularly when positioning smaller bits. The workpiece should still be secured and the correct cutting conditions maintained.
• Q: What does the 14.4 in-lbs stall torque specification mean? A: Stall torque is the torque produced when the drill stops rotating under load. The catalog lists 14.4 in-lbs (1.6 Nm) for this model, which helps buyers compare its turning capability with other drills. It should not be interpreted as a continuous working torque rating.
