Ingersoll Rand 7807R Review Summary:

It’s one of the most popular devices of this kind on the market, partly due to its useful features and partly because of its reasonable price. It’s a durable, comfortable, and a precise machine made by one of Europe’s most respected manufacturers of power tools.

But the only way to find out if it’s actually worth the money is to carefully analyze its build quality and efficiency – and that’s where we come in. Join us, and let’s check out this right angle air drill together!

Specifications:

• Weight – 2.35lbs
• Dimensions – 2.3″ x 9.1″ x 4.6″
• Chuck Size – 3/8″
• Horsepower – 0.33 HP
• Warranty – 1-year

The Design

Just like many other air-operated drills manufactured by Ingersoll Rand, the 7807R also sports a design that makes the user confident about its durability and reliability. Featuring a simple combination of metallic and black colors, the unit has low weight (only 2.35 pounds) and is just a bit above 8″ long. This makes it incredibly compact and very convenient when it comes to drilling in hard-to-reach spaces.

Similarly to other drills made by Ingersoll Rand, this one also has a durable construction that prevents mechanical damage. Accidental dropping from a height shouldn’t render the device unusable, and that’s always a big plus in our book.

Power

The 0.33 HP motor of this right angle drill achieves the maximum speed of 1,800 RPM, which is pretty good for a device of this type and allows one to use it for all sorts of drilling operations. The fact that it’s reversible is another advantage, letting one use the 7807R for driving bolts and screws. Unfortunately, the unit requires lots of air volume to work correctly – those who don’t own (or are not planning to buy) a large compressor should look elsewhere.

Furthermore, the drill is quite loud when it works. It gets the job done, but using it without hearing protection would be quite unwise. The loudness is the most significant flaw of this device, and something we certainly didn’t expect from Ingersoll Rand. On the other hand, we were quite pleased with the presence of a grease plug, as it allows easy preventative maintenance.

What Users Say About The Ingersoll Rand 7807R

Users are generally pleased with this drill, saying that it’s yet another quality product that they intend to use for the years to come. Besides the reasonable price, they’re praising the unit’s versatility, low profile, as well as the ease of operation and maintenance.

Those with negative experiences are scolding the severe loudness, the fact that the unit requires a large compressor, as well as its short warranty period. But still, they’re still calling it a pretty good deal for the money.
