A pneumatic power tool includes a housing (10) with a pistol handle (11), a pneumatic motor provided in the housing (10), a pressure air inlet passage (13) and an exhaust air passage (14) extending substantially in parallel through the pistol handle (11), and a manually operable throttle valve (12) provided in the housing (10). The pistol handle (11) includes: (i) a tubular stem (20) rigidly secured to the housing (10) and forming a portion of the air inlet passage (13), (ii) a separate hollow grip element (30) surrounding at least partly the tubular stem (20) and defining together with the tubular stem (20) a portion of the exhaust air passage (14), and (iii) a clamping device (22-24,28,29) arranged to detachably secure the grip element (30) to the housing (10).
