[@markmayer2029]

I haven't seen anybody get so excited about getting a new rock drill, since I got one. Merry Christmas Dave. You gotta try the stirrup/rope combo over the handles. Keep you from getting Carpal Tunnel, and a lot less work.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

I have tried the stirrup Mark and could not really come to terms with it, found that my drilling accuracy was all over the place. I don't have any Carpal Tunnel or White finger problems after nearly 30 years. I think the deciding issues are 1/forget the short stroke high frequency, light weight drills as they are a shocker to hang onto, 2/ add extra padding on the handles and always wear heavy gloves, 3/ Don't smoke as this ruins your circulation and exacerbates the problem.

[@markmayer2029]

@@demolitiondavedrillandblast Throwing the leg over the drill will throw off the drill more than putting your foot in the stirrup. I have also seen a foot peg that gets installed onto a side rod, where the washer would normally go. Good balance is a definite necessity with all techniques. I really like my Tamrok Commando 300 over a sinker any day. I also use a bunch of screw feed drills with mountings on mini excavators and skid loaders. I've been running sinkers for 45 years, and have to agree that high RPM drills mess with your hands. Keep the pressure sane, and have fun. Cheers!

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

You really need to post some video Mark. For me, the leg over is what I'm used to and was able to drill very strait and parallel holes for nice looking pre splits... until I was forced to have that "safe and effective" medical intervention recently - that screwed up balance and drilling accuracy - can anybody say neurological damage. Thankfully I have mostly recovered now. I have the drill on the mini excavator but wish I could afford a 300 as they have everything in a fully self contained package, very costly over here though, e.g. $100,000 for a very tired unit.

Have you had a look at Boarts S250-M3 sinker drills Dave ? Designed for shaft sinking with penetration of 1.7ft/min and anti vibration . Not sure if you can run them without water . I always favoured Boart jacklegs and stopers for reliability, reasonable weight and good penetration.

[@demolitiondavedrillandblast]

Just had a look at the specs - that is a monster of a drill @37Kg. Jackleg / Sinker Rock drill Specification: Bore 79.4 mm 3.126 in Stroke 73.25 mm 2.884 in Any wet drill can be converted or you just connect air up to the water input, as long as you are not drilling large deep holes, this is OK. Otherwise you must change the flushing tube - the tube for air slushing is a larger diameter. The S250-M3 is probably best suited to an operator a lot larger than me, I have a big Holman sinker (35Kg.) that nobody has been able to identify, I should do a video featuring it.

Did anyone else catch where it’s made from? Once made in the USA. Sadly now it’s made in India. At least it’s not from China.

At least India turn out some well made products.

welcome back Dave, i had been thinking it's been a few weeks. as with all tools there are pro's and cons, the trick as always is knowing what they are and using the correct tools for the job, shame you have 3 tools down for repair.

4 tired drills actually Amanda, 3x Atlas Copco RH658's and the old Holman Silver Bullet, just got them back a few days ago after Greg waved his magic wand over them.
