Fast and Efficient Boring a horizontal hole under sidewalks, patios, driveways, etc. has always been painstaking and time consuming. Back in the day a spud bar would be pound under a sidewalk from both sides, or water would be used to make the hole, what a muddy mess it was. Sometimes the concrete was cut out and relayed after the pipe was installed. This makes for a tripping hazard. With The SiBore Drill, those days are a thing of the past. Time is money and your customers are impatient. The SiBore Drill can help you to be more productive on your job site so you can get on to the next job! The Perfect Tool For"?(R)? The SiBore Drill is the perfect tool for electrical contractors, landscape professionals, lawn sprinkler installers, plumbers, trenching utility contractors, mining companies, school districts, colleges, universities or tool rental companies that rent to any of the above including the weekend do-it-yourselfer.
Fast, Reliable Horizontal Auger If you need to lay pipe underneath a sidewalk, patio or driveway, the SiBore Drill is all you need. You'll have up to an eight inch diameter hole cleared in less then five minutes. It saves time, as the task can be done in less then 5 minutes from start to finish. The affordable SB1-1 sells for $1,480, plus shipping, comes available in 2 and 4 cycles. Durable Skid Plate The reinforced skid plate is a vital part of the SiBore Drill. This fixed angle guide gives the operator incredible control of the auger in both the pitch and elevation of the hole. The tool's arm is connected to the torque tube and shaft with sealed ball bearings. Forged Steel Reamer This steel reamer rotates at 250 revolutions per minute for a fast, smooth bore. There's no mud to deal with and no debris to clear from the hole when you're through to the other side. Cold-Rolled Steel Auger This auger is extremely strong, long lasting, and has been designed specifically for tearing through rough terrain. The auger is geared-down to maximize torque. Carbide-Tipped Leading Edge Carbide metals are incredibly durable and resilient, even in harsh conditions such as grinding through tough earth. It is great for the company that mostly uses 2 cycle engines. This includes: SiBore Drill motor head, powered by a 2 stroke, Viper engine; 2" auger, 4" auger, two 36" extensions and a motor stand.
How the SiBore Drill Came About I am a trenching utility contractor by trade, installing water, gas, electric and drainage lines. It was the evening before a big job. The next morning I had to be at the site to install 4" PVC under four sidewalks and I had little time to do it. I stopped by our local hardware store and picked up supplies that were needed to build the idea of the prototype for the drill. After staying up most of the night fabricating, the SiBore Drill was born (U.S. patent). The next morning it was put to the test and it worked great, meeting all of my expectations and more. The best part was that the person that hired me for the job was thrilled; no cement to be replaced and no uneven sidewalks for anyone to trip on. Over the years we have sold the SiBore Drill to just about every trade listed above, and others have told us that this drill would meet the needs of their trade too. Maybe it will meet your need?
