Battery-Powered Sidewalk Boring Drill for Trenchless Installs
Bore under sidewalks, driveways, and hardscape edges without water-assisted mess or full trench excavation.
The SiBore SB216e Battery Powered Bore Drill Machine is a compact, battery-powered side-boring auger for landscapers, sprinkler installers, plumbers, electrical contractors, and other crews that need clean trenchless access under hard surfaces.
Powered by a Makita 40V MAX XGT battery-powered motor, the SB216e is listed to bore 2-inch and 4-inch diameter holes in less than 5 minutes. Its waterless boring method helps reduce mud, cleanup, and disruption around finished landscapes.
The drill is compact enough for mobile job requirements and pairs well with a GeoRipper handheld trencher when a job needs both trenching and boring under obstacles.
