Anyone own one of these? Has decent reviews on northern tool. Wont be using it everyday at work but need it to work when I do need it.

No one huh?

I don't. My favorite 1/2" air drill is a Craftsman-badged Florida Pneumatic. FP tools are good quality and can be affordable. FWIW

For the use you describe I'm sure that NT unit would be fine, but if you can live w a keyed chuck I'd do that. Inexpensive keyless always seems to slip on me in 1/2" drills, even air drills.

I had one and it worked great for about ten minutes and the head locked on it.
