The Magnum handheld hydraulic core drill motor is on low-maintenance and on high-performance, with an unrivalled power for both wet and dry drilling applications alike. Although the Magnum has a high power-to-weight ratio, it produces little or no kick back or snatch, thanks to its in-built pressure/torque limiting safety valve. It can be used for both free drilling with close-body control and rig mounted drilling applications; suitable for drilling any angle.

This compact, lightweight, high-power and iconic hydraulic drill motor is widely regarded across a multitude of industries because of its versatility, reliability, safety and ease of use; with its design changing little in the almost 35 years since it was first produced here in the UK to this day. It is especially popular in the telecoms industry for use in confined spaces (including manhole chambers), as well as underwater, indoors, upside down (inverted), in hazardous environments (like refineries, petrol stations etc) or in noise-sensitive areas, thanks to its low-noise, non-fuming, non-electrical and non-sparking operation. Despite its lightweight, it has a reassuring robust construction and very low maintenance; with ultra-low vibration levels (0.6m/s2 free-running).

All Magnum hydraulic core drill motors feature a ½” BSP F fitting and are supplied with a 1¼” UNC M external to ½” BSP M adaptor, allowing both larger industry standard 1¼” UNC Female core bits and smaller diameter ½” BSP Male core bits to be used, for greater coring versatility. It is also supplied with an adjustable and detachable side handle for optimum handling when free-drilling; the same is detached when rig mounted.

They are limited for use with a 20 l/m hydraulic flow rate and 150 bar pressure (recommended hydraulic pressure 70-92 bar). Can also be used on machines with a compatible power take off facility for added convenience and maximum versatility.

Supplied with a metal heavy-duty protective storage and transportation case as standard.


It is available in four different sizes (Mag 5+, Mag 10+, Mag 15+ and Mag 24+), each with different rotational speeds in order to best suit individual drilling requirements.

Mag 5+ – 600rpn. Suitable for 70-162mm dia. cores in concrete and 127-202mm dia. in asphalt. 8kg.

Mag 10+ – 1000rpm. Suitable for 40-70mm dia. cores in concrete and 90-127mm dia. in asphalt. 8kg.

Mag 15+ – 1500rpm. Suitable for 25-50mm dia. cores in concrete and 45-90mm dia. in asphalt. 8kg.

Mag 24+ – 2400rpm. Suitable for 12-25mm dia. cores in concrete and 14-45mm dia. in asphalt. 8kg.

Magnum drill motors and the telecommunications industry

It is now a mandatory requirement when fitting telecommunication ducts into existing manhole chambers to use diamond drilling equipment to cut required holes, as this practice is more sympathetic and less-damaging to the structure of the manhole, than using a breaker.

Electric drills are not acceptable for this particular application because of their sparking nature and the potential presence of explosive gases and/or wet environment. Air drills can be used as an alternative, although these require a large and somewhat limiting towable air compressor to power them. Air drills are also often underpowered and need in-line oilers and water filters, and typically have a less-reliable performance.

The Mag5+ and Mage 10+ are ideally suited for telecoms use, due to their compact size, reliability, non-hazardous fuming operation, coring range and their ability to be used to drill in any angle to match the incoming duct.

Magnum drill motors for inverted (upside down) drilling

Many jobs require a need for holes to be drilled inverted or upside down, like into ceiling beams, bridge deck work etc.

Such applications are generally off-limits to electrically powered diamond core drill motors because of the safety and performance implications caused by the gravitational fall of water flowing back into the electrics of the motor.

Magnum hydraulic core drill motors are ideally suited in such circumstances and drilling applications.

Magnum drill motors for underwater drilling applications

Magnum drill motors are ideal for drilling applications that are required to be performed underwater, such as drilling holes for fixings on seafront walls, oil exploration structures, piers etc.

When drilling larger cores underwater it is advisable to use rig mounted in order to counteract the disruptive nature of currents and effects of buoyancy to the operator.

Despite being underwater, water will still need to be flushed through to clear away the drilling residue from the cutting face.
