The TE160 is a high torque, high frequency rotary/percussion drifter. The high torque is used for installing roof bolts in underground mines, installing hollow bar micropiles or soil nails and drilling through rebar. The high frequency is also designed to benefit these applications.
What you see in the video is the TE160HT drilling into heavily reinforced concrete built to simulate drilling into military bunkers. TEI has a long history of supplying our Special Forces with drilling solution for military problems. The TE160HT is the most efficient drifter yet for drilling through rebar; the TE160HT has been retrofitted to most of the TEI rigs used by the US Special Forces.
Notice the pieces of steel blowing out of the hole.
