I am in need of a drill motor- 3/8" chuck, about 2000 rpm. Since we have a nice copper pipe compressed air system with filter, oiler, separator,big a$$ compressor, drain valves, never any water, and retractable hose reel, I have settled on an air drill. I am not familiar with them. I thought about getting a cheap one and then deciding on a good one later but I hate to buy junk so please recommend a good one and I'll skip the junk trial.
I will use it for general purpose stuff everyday in the shop. I have a large electric one for over 3/8" sizes. My main concern is a high quality (tight-gripping) chuck than won't scar the shanks of my poorly sharpened drills when they grab. I would rather the drill break so I can resharpen and still have a good shank. What other features should I consider? Reverseable ect.? I'm willing to spend up to $200 if it will last say... 7 years?
Thanks,
Roland
