12 best motorcycle drills for all occasions

To choose a motor-drill, it is necessary to take into account a number of conditions that affect the efficiency in certain conditions. The correctness of the choice also depends on its service life in certain conditions, because if one model is adapted for ice, then it may not cope with solid soil at all. Here is a list of influencing factors:

1. What tasks should the tool perform
2. Engine power
3. Drilling Depth and Diameter
4. The presence of interchangeable screw attachments
5. Price

We will analyze and touch on each of these points in our ranking of the best motor-drills for earthwork and fishing in 2019. But it is worthwhile to understand that models for soil and ice have individual characteristics that also affect the choice in this category. Let's consider them in more detail.

How to choose earthworks

Before purchasing, you need to understand that you can only buy such equipment in specialized stores where they can give a guarantee, and it is better if you also make repairs with sharpening. The gas drill tool, although powerful, but rather capricious, which can break even in the hottest conditions, can be caused by a small pebble in the motor. And therefore, when buying such an instrument, you need to look several steps ahead, anticipating the worst case scenario.

As for the technical side, the main difference between the drill for earthwork from that used in making holes on ice in:

1. Power
2. Weight design
3. Dimensions of auger and fuel tank

The fact is that the soil is much harder than ice and you need a more powerful tool for such work. In addition, during land work, harder rocks can get under the auger, it all depends on the terrain and geological conditions of the site. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the hardness of the soil, the presence of hard rocks at the drilling site and the amount of work.

How to choose for fishing

Choosing a motor-drill for winter fishing is quite simple, if you follow the basic rules.

1. To select the unit in terms of performance, you need to consider the number of holes that will need to be drilled at a time.
2. If there is a choice between several brands, it is best to give preference to someone who has a cheap and convenient service, because the drill will need frequent sharpening of knives.
3. If you live in a region where winter is not particularly severe, it will be more profitable to purchase a universal motor drill with augers for winter and summer work.

When choosing a drill for winter fishing, you must also consider the thickness of the ice in order to choose the length of the nozzle. Weight will also be an important point, because too heavy auger on ice is not just a heavy load for transportation, but also a threat to the integrity of the ice.

Rating depending on drilling surface

Priming

CHAMPION AG252 2 KM

The rating of gas drills for working with soil should start with this tool, because it has a large set of good qualities for a fairly small price. In the kit, the model has a large number of additional parts and nozzles. The engine is protected against overheating and can be run for a long time without stopping. But the minus is that during operation there are very strong vibrations and noise. If there are headphones from the second, then nothing will help from the first, hands will hurt.

Carver AG-52/000 2 HP

Carver AG-52/000 2 HP- This is the model of 2019, which will not be out of date soon, due to its versatility, because for this drill, nozzles are supplied for both soil and ice. The low price for the tool and a very hardy engine, but spare parts for these gas drills are very expensive and can not be found everywhere, so it is better to stock up on the main repair kit right away so that the work does not get up.

MAXCUT MC 55 3 HP

This model combines an affordable price tag and a hardy motor with the use of high-quality durable materials. It is also worth noting that this drill can be used for soil and ice, replacing only with the appropriate screw.

The switch is right at hand, so you can accidentally hit it.

Ice

ELITECH BM 70V 3.3 HP

But the rating of motor-drills for fishing is to start with this device, because for a small price you can get a great helper. Powerful efficient motor in high-quality packaging, which is protected from overheating and has a shock absorption function. True, the handle is not very convenient, because the support falls on one supporting side and on the one where the power button and speeds are located, which can be accidentally touched during operation. By itself, a bit heavy for ice work.

DDE GD-65-300 3.2 KM

If the company goes for winter fishing, then you should choose a model from the company DDE, because there is a place for two people. The handles are very conveniently located, so you can also work well alone. A powerful motor drill with long screws is included, therefore, if the ice thickness is large, you do not need auxiliary tools and buy a nozzle separately. Only the volume of the fuel tank is depressing, you will have to carry a canister with you or fishing will not be a problem.

CHAMPION AG352 1.9 KM

Almost the lightest fishing motor drill, which is convenient to carry. It is worth noting comfortable handles that have a shock absorption function and slightly absorb vibration, which is a plus, because the hands are not so tired and you can make more holes.

The most powerful

ADA instruments Ground Drill 14 Reverse 8 KM

A gas drill, which is not just good, but a great option for performing a large amount of work. For this tool, there are no problem areas and too heavy soil, because it passes like a knife in oil, due to power and weight. As for gravity, there is a place for two, but not as an additional function, but as a mandatory point. The tool is very heavy and practically not lifting alone, so you need to think a few times before drilling, or this place.

EFCO TR 1585 R 5.7 KM

This model is not as powerful and heavy as the previous drill, but still it is not inferior in performance, because it is easier to transfer and get out of the holes.A small but powerful motor does not interfere with operation, but the handles are bare metal pipes, which makes your hands quickly tired. The unit itself is protected from overheating and can work extremely long.

Oleo-Mac MTL 85 R 5.7 KM

This gas drill is perfect for soil of different hardness, the availability of space for two people makes it possible to use it in problem areas. There is a reverse function, therefore, during operation, its weight is not felt, but during transportation the weight is quite felt and it is better not to wear alone. Pleases indicator of maximum depth, which is greater than that of analogues in this segment. But still, due to vibrations, hands get tired quickly.

Inexpensive models (up to 7000 rub.)

ELITECH BM 52E 2.5 HP

Pretty inexpensive model with a very nice package and the availability of seats for two. This greatly simplifies the work, although the drill itself is not very heavy, but together the work is faster. Compact dimensions, so it is convenient to carry in the trunk. For its price class, a very good base indicator of maximum depth. The only downside is that it always starts from the third or fourth time, it can be lucky, of course, but usually not from the first.

Carver AG-43/000 1.7 h.p.

A beautiful model with nice features from Carver for a relatively low price. Also a pleasant addition will be handles that are rubberized, which affects the work, hands get tired less and do not slip. However, the attachment to the casing loosens over time and has to be tightened, so be sure to check before working that there is no unpleasant surprise during drilling.

P.I.T. P 51210 2.5 HP

If you look for the lightest motor drills, you can safely consider this tool, because by its characteristics it can safely compete with the middle price segment. However, ease is achieved by the use of plastic parts with dubious quality. The case can crack simply from vibrations or from inaccurate storage. But happy fuel economy, so the tank lasts for a long time.
