BIO BLACK WIDOW is a biodegradable drill rod grease. Made from vegetable oil, it is non-toxic yet offers superior performance and has excellent adhesive properties. It is a great choice to minimize drilling impact on the environment, especially in eco-sensible areas, but it is also a wise choice as it offers greater oxidation resistance than most conventional biodegradable lubricants.

Fordia carbide grippers have an excellent grip and feature a long product life to make your job easier.

Light and portable, the EXPLO 220 geotechnical drill rig is perfect for seismic exploration and low depth geotechnical activities, for rotary drilling, coring, augering and down-the-hole hammering. Designed for quick break-down and assembly (in around 10 minutes), it can be mounted on a road trailer or on a four-wheel drive vehicle to facilitate access to restricted areas. The simple yet robust design of the EXPLO 220 is easy to maintain and is well adapted to very demanding drilling conditions.

Get consistent and accurate Standard Penetration Test results with our 140 pound (63.5 kg) automatic hammer. With no ropes or cables to obstruct the free fall of the weight, it easily meets all ASTM-D-1586 requirements. All moving parts, along with the impact area, are enclosed for greater safety.

The Versadrill GT8 is a multi-functional geotechnical drill rig that packs the punch of a full size rig. With its sturdy design, the GT8 meets the needs of the most demanding drillers.

When replacing the diamond tool, insert a graphite plug in its centre before restarting to drill to protect segments and to preserve its product life.

For extremely difficult overburden, choose one of the high performance matrices offered in the Gator line of products. Choose from a selection of matrices designed for drilling in hard and rocky ground or when the bedrock is very deep, and combine it with a crown diamond impregnation height of 8mm.
