Ingersoll Rand QP302LD Pistol Grip Air Drill | 0.25 HP | 3,000 RPM | 15.9 (In-lbs) Max Torque | Trigger-Start

Built for repeatable drilling at production benches and assembly stations, the Ingersoll Rand QP302LD Pistol Grip Air Drill combines a 0.25 HP pneumatic motor with 3,000 RPM free speed and 15.9 in-lbs maximum torque. This intermediate speed-and-torque configuration supports efficient hole-making with compatible cutting tools while retaining more turning force than higher-speed drill models. The trigger-start control allows the operator to align the bit with the workpiece before activating rotation, enabling controlled manual drilling across repeated production cycles.

The Ingersoll Rand QP302LD uses a pistol-grip layout for drilling fabricated parts, production components, and equipment subassemblies. Its 3,000 RPM output places it between high-speed, lower-torque drills and slower models intended for greater cutting loads, giving buyers a practical option when cycle speed and available torque must be balanced. Final tool selection should account for chuck capacity, drill diameter, cutting geometry, workpiece material, feed pressure, and the compressed-air supply available at the workstation.

Type: Pistol Grip Air Drill | Model: QP302LD | Configuration: Pistol Grip | Motor Power: 0.25 HP | Free Speed: 3,000 RPM | Max Torque: 15.9 in-lbs | Start Type: Trigger-Start

Features:

• 0.25 HP pneumatic motor provides rotational power for repetitive drilling and production assembly work.
• 3,000 RPM free speed supports productive drilling cycles with compatible bits and workpiece materials.
• 15.9 in-lbs maximum torque provides a practical balance of spindle speed and available turning force.
• Trigger-start operation allows the user to position the cutting tool before activating the pneumatic motor.
• Pistol-grip configuration supports controlled manual handling at assembly stations, fabrication benches, and manufacturing cells.
• Intermediate-speed configuration fills the gap between faster, lower-torque drills and slower models designed for higher cutting loads.
• Air-powered operation supports repeated production use when connected to clean, regulated compressed air.

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 assembly — drilling components and subassemblies where consistent cycle time and controlled tool handling are required.
• Equipment manufacturing — preparing parts for fasteners, hardware, and subsequent assembly operations.
• Metal fabrication — drilling compatible sheet metal, brackets, housings, and fabricated components with properly selected tooling.
• Automotive and transportation production — performing repeated drilling on compatible panels, brackets, and subassemblies.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — completing drilling tasks during machinery repair, equipment installation, and component replacement.

FAQs:

• Q: What type of drilling work is the Ingersoll Rand QP302LD suited for?
  A: The QP302LD is suited to repetitive production and assembly drilling where 3,000 RPM and 15.9 in-lbs of maximum torque match the bit and material. Suitable hole size also depends on chuck capacity, cutting geometry, feed conditions, and manufacturer application guidance.
• Q: How does the QP302LD compare with higher-speed QP drills?
  A: The QP302LD operates at a lower spindle speed and provides more available torque than faster QP configurations. It offers a middle-ground option when the process requires more turning force without moving to a low-speed drill.
• Q: What does trigger-start mean?
  A: Trigger-start means the operator activates and stops the pneumatic motor using a trigger on the pistol-grip handle. This allows the bit to be aligned with the drilling location before rotation begins.
• Q: Does the 15.9 in-lbs rating determine the drill's maximum hole capacity?
  A: No. Drilling capacity also depends on the chuck, bit diameter and geometry, workpiece material, cutting speed, and feed pressure. Review the manufacturer's capacity data before selecting the tool for a specific hole size.
• Q: What should be verified before connecting this drill to an air system?
  A: Confirm the required operating pressure, airflow, air inlet size, and minimum hose diameter. The compressor, regulator, fittings, and hose must maintain the specified air supply while the drill is working under load.
