Looking for a 1/2” air drill

[Sanny81]

Job came up at work where I had to borrow someone’s air drill so of course I’m using this as an excuse to buy my own. Won’t see regular use but I still want something decent. I already got burned by not doing my research and ordering a a $70 Neiko off Amazon only to get it today and realize it’s the same exact one Harbor Freight sells for $25. Honestly I wouldn’t be opposed to just getting the one from HF if I knew it was a decent buy.

I know you must have a very exact reason, but why an air drill?

It was for a job on a forklift where the hole I needed to drill was too close to the frame for the shops 1/2” electric to fit and the only thing I had that did fit was my 3/8” Milwaukee M12 but the drill bit wouldn’t fit. So in came the air drill which did fit. So, will I be needing this tool in the foreseeable future? Probably not but I’d like to have it on hand if I do.
