Bohle has significantly improved its popular Aqua Drill battery-powered wet drilling machine by replacing the drive unit with the latest machine generation from PROTOOL.

The water feed chuck for diamond core drills, developed and produced by Bohle, has not been changed, but now you can also switch to standard chucks quickly and easily. The Aqua Drill PLUS with greatly improved performance will be available for the same price as the previous model.

"The great demand for a multi-functional machine with exchangeable chucks to allow both wet operation with diamond core drills as well as impact drilling and screwing functions persuaded us to take this action," Product Manager Andreas Barth explains. "By changing to the PROTOOL drive technology, we now offer a tool with many more benefits," Barth adds. The improvements are very impressive: For example, latest generation lithium ionic batteries significantly increase the service life of the machine. The EC-TEC motor runs without carbon brushes and the speed is adjustable in four steps up to 3800 rpm. This high speed allows quick and accurate drilling - now also for diameters as small as four millimetres. Furthermore, an adapter for screw bits is included with the drill as well.

Bohle also offers a comprehensive range of accessories for the Aqua Drill PLUS: Various fixation templates and drilling aids prevent the drill from slipping and damaging tiles. The top model "Profi" with vacuum suction holder is even equipped to drain off the drilling dust together with the coolant. This keeps the entire drilling area clean. For the supply of the coolant circulation Bohle offers a 12-litre pressurised water tank, which makes the Aqua Drill PLUS independent of a mains water supply. "By freeing it from mains water and power supplies, we ensure that the drilling machine can be used with the greatest possible flexibility," Product Manager Andreas Barth summarises.
