The Racine gasoline tie drill is designed to pre-drill holes in wood ties for lag screws, bridge timber screws and crossing projects. The powerful 1.3-horsepower, two-cycle engine with feather-light design weighing only 16 pounds will reduce operator fatigue, the company says. It's also ergonomically well-balanced for ease of operation. A skid plate and roll bar are designed to prevent damage to the machine. The drill features a full reversing transmission for trouble-free extraction of the drill bit from the tie. 1/2-inch capacity chuck and key are included for easy change out of drill bits.
