Hurricane Mountain Works Rock Drill



The Hurricane Mountain Works hand drill is a compact rock drill holder
which secures SDS and other drills, and allows for quick change of bits
in the field. It is the first of its kind, and was designed by John Middendorf
and Tim Martin in 1993. An interchangeable collet system allows use of any size drills.
Standard collet (included) accepts SDS carbide tipped bits. Other features
include a hardened stainless steel body with anti-mushrooming steel insert
on the striking surface, a rubber grip with flange for hand protection,
and a spinning wrist loop. Comes with instructional brochure complete with
drilling tips.

To Order, contact Hurricane Mountain Works
(not sure if still available).

Note: Petzl makes a similar product now, though the Petzl version requires the full length SDS bit. The HMW original version allowed use of SDS bits that were shortened by chopping off the SDS end, as the HMW collet system could clamp any round shank, in addition to an uncut SDS bits.
