SCUBA Underwater Powerdrill

The world is running out of space (land) due to the growing population that countries all over the world are facing. Buildings are built closer to each other. Every part of the world is getting more crowded each year. People needs to start looking for alternative spaces for future development. I forsee that there would be a need to start a new trend which includes creating buildings and infrastuctures directly from the seabed.

Due to this growing trend, there would be a vast increment in the demand and requirements of power tools designed to be used underwater.

SCUBA is a powerdrill specially designed for underwater constructions. It is driven by pneumatic force and features a water inlet/outlet with an internal tunnel and propeller to counter the water pressure and current. It also solves the problem of “clouding” in the water caused by the saw dust.

The handle, trigger and cover are also specially designed ergonomically to improve the user’s experience of drilling.
