Description
Die-cast aluminum gear housings and precision-ground alloy steel gears form the rugged foundation of handheld diamond core drilling. The ICS 2200W Pistol Grip Core Drill cores 3-Inch holes in concrete using 2200W motor muscle. You control drill downfeed with two hands. Handheld core drilling requires firm arm downforce to control kickback when diamond bits hit rebar.
Die-cast aluminum forms the three-speed gearbox housing, dissipating gear friction heat while sealing oil bath lubrication inside. A 2200W universal motor connects to standard 115V 1-Phase power, driving 3-Gear speeds at 500, 1200, and 2100 RPM without belt slippage. Internal multi-plate friction clutches protect motor armatures from sudden core bit lockups. The handheld tool scales at 15.8 lbs, measuring 16 inches long by 5.5 inches wide for tight conduit penetrations.
Key Features of ICS 2200W
Plumbers and electricians buy ICS 2200W pistol grip core drills to bore conduit holes through concrete and brick walls. The 3-Speed gearbox delivers the exact surface speed needed for small or large diamond core barrels.
- High-output 2200W motor operates on standard 115V 1-Phase power for jobsite convenience.
- Three-speed oil-bath transmission delivers 500, 1200, and 2100 RPM to match core bit diameters.
- Mechanical safety slip clutch breaks rotational drive during core bit jams to prevent wrist injury.
- Dual spindle thread arbor accepts 1-1/4-Inch-7 and 5/8-Inch-11 diamond core bits without adapters.
- Integrated water swivel feeds water through the spindle center for clean wet concrete drilling.
- In-line PRCD ground fault circuit interrupter protects operators from electrical shock in wet areas.
- Compact pistol-grip body mounts directly into drill stand collars for precision rig core drilling.
Pistol Core Bench Load Metrics
Bench dynamometer testing proves the 3-Speed gearbox holds spindle speed at 1150 RPM in second gear while drilling a 2-1/2-Inch diamond bit through 4000 PSI cured concrete. The internal mechanical slip clutch breaks traction at 28 foot-pounds of sudden resistance, protecting operator wrists when diamond segments strike buried steel rebar. The oil bath gearbox keeps gear surface temperatures below 132 degrees Fahrenheit across 2-Hours of continuous wet core drilling duty in test bays. Current draw remains steady at 18.2 amps under active downthrust.
Jobsite Handling Operational Field Limits
The contoured pistol grip and clamp-on side handle give you balanced two-hand control during vertical and horizontal coring. Skip handheld operation on core bits exceeding 3-Inch diameter in reinforced concrete. Bits larger than three inches produce dangerous rotational bind torque that demands mounting the motor onto an anchored drill stand rig. Turn on water flow before engaging the diamond bit.
- Inspect spindle water seal packings monthly and replace weeping seals to stop water ingress.
- Check gearbox oil level through the inspection plug and change synthetic gear oil every 12-Months.
- Test the inline PRCD ground fault circuit interrupter button before every wet drilling shift.
Factory Warranty Standard Package Inclusions
ICS backs the 2200W pistol grip core drill motor with a 1-Year commercial warranty covering manufacturer defects. The factory kit box delivers the drill motor, an inline PRCD cord, a brass water swivel valve, open-end arbor wrenches, and a detailed operating manual. Core bits sold separately.
