Hammer drill vibration
Le problème
Conventional hammer drill: 8 to 12 m/s², ELV exceeded in 1 h, chronic shoulder RSI.
Sept Tools
Pic Epeiche brushless 0.35 m/s²: full day without exceeding the legal threshold.
Sept Tools
Professional concrete wall drilling
Sept Tools brushless drills for service penetrations, heavy anchors and technical fixings in concrete walls and dense masonry.
Concrete wall drilling is a recurring operation on virtually every construction finishing project: electrical and fluid penetrations, ventilation, climate ducts, ironwork fixings or structural anchors. The repetition of these operations makes tool quality and ergonomics decisive for overall project productivity. Sept Tools has developed a range of French brushless drills and concrete core drill systems combining high torque, controlled vibration and native compatibility with our anti-strain solutions, suitable for a handful of penetrations, large-diameter diamond core drilling or hundreds of anchors per day.

Wet sawing nuisance
Le problème
Wet diamond sawing on occupied site: slurry, noise, heavy logistics, neighbour complaints.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
Which drill for chemical anchors?
The Pic Epeiche on base is the reference for certified chemical anchors. The base guarantees perpendicularity and depth, the two key parameters for technical approval validity.
Do I need a compressor for hole cleaning?
Not always. Our drills connect directly to an IU33 Longopac vacuum that combines blowing and suction for a clean hole ready for resin injection.
What is the maximum drilling depth?
The Sept Tools range handles depths up to 600 mm as standard. Beyond that, bit extensions and multi-pass strategies are offered by our technical team.
How can operator fatigue be limited?
The Mygale gantry or Gecko balancer fully relieves the machine weight. The operator guides without carrying, turning a strenuous task into a precise repeatable motion.
Are your drills usable outdoors?
Yes. The IP65 rating protects against driving rain and dust. For prolonged outdoor work, we recommend an IP44 extension cord and a basic shelter for the control station.
