Modular precision drills
14 November 2018
Ingersoll Rand has introduced a new series of P33N precision drills designed for the aircraft manufacturing and aerospace maintenance industries. The new products come in straight, pistol, angle and modular versions.

In manufacturing Industries ergonomics is valuable as it prevents operator injury and helps to increase productivity” said Jonathan Di Sano, product manager in the Europe, Middle East, India and Africa region at Ingersoll Rand. “The P33N drill is designed to achieve the perfect dimensions and best–in-class ergonomic design to ensure maintenance operators can perform their tasks with flexibility and less fatigue, resulting in improved operations for our customers”.
The new P33N drills are flexible, powerful and durable with a 20% reduction in weight, better ergonomics and improved visual tool identification. The new P33N drills come with different colour visuals, which allows operators to quickly identify the tool’s speed and avoid mistakes when selecting the tool in the working environment.
The new tools are covered with soft-touch polyurethane PU Paint, which provides an ergonomic and secure grip and reduces vibrations. The radius transition between housing and nose gives users a sense of where their hand is placed on the tool, minimising the pressure points and reducing slippage. For additional operator’s safety, the new P33N drills feature a proven and ergonomic safety lever.
