"Products I'm Glad I Used" Series (Bits Edition) | The Ultimate Drill

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Reason for the slow updates lately: I've been out in the field (lol)

It's a little late because I just got back.

On top of that, I'm totally wiped out...

It's because I'm out in the field...

When I'm working indoors, my stamina really drops off.

I'm always thinking I really need to get some exercise.

I'm the type who just thinks about things and then lets it go, lol.

Exercise


But that's beside the point.

"Products I'm Glad I Tried" Series

The other day, we installed rock bolts in Tokyo.

When drilling with a suspended drill rig, we start to encounter a small amount of clay at a depth of about 3 meters below the surface.

Also, the blow didn't come back well, and it would get stuck when I pushed it, so I had a hard time with that.

Before I knew it, the clay had filled up half the rod—what a mess!!

I spent about an hour repeatedly pushing the wire into the rod and pulling it out to clear the jam...

 

So, I used the clay bit I mentioned earlier.

Suspended Drilling Rig, Clay Bit

It comes with a slime splash guard, lol.

Clay Bits

Using this has greatly improved the drilling of holes in clay.

There are almost no traffic jams, aren't there?

Sure, if you drill without air, it'll get clogged, but if you drill while making sure to let air through, you'll be fine!

 

And the slime splash guard is pretty good, too.

Although it makes it harder to see the slime from the operator's perspective, it definitely makes it less likely to scatter behind you.

It hits the board and falls down. Its power is also halved when it flies.

 

I highly recommend these clay bits!
