Chicago Pneumatic model CP-884 air drill with Super-Craft Chuck

Condition: Used – Drill body and chuck in visibly functional condition, but trigger button (actuator) is missing. Actuator stem intact, suggesting unit may be restorable with a replacement trigger or compatible retrofit part. No additional accessories included.

The Chicago Pneumatic CP-884 is a classic industrial-grade air drill known for its high-speed, 2800 RPM free-running capability, ideal for fast drilling in metal, composites, and wood. It features a 3/8″ Super-Craft chuck, offering strong bit retention and precision. Designed for production environments, this drill is often used in automotive assembly lines, metal fabrication, and general maintenance settings.

Though currently non-functional due to the missing trigger button, this unit retains its mechanical integrity and may be suitable for repair or use as a donor/parts unit.
