Abstract (en)

A percussion tool for drilling holes in the soil comprising a cylindrical housing with a front end (1029) shaped for boring, a first means on said front end for applying a boring force to the soil. a second means in said housing for applying a percussive force to said boring force applying means, characterised in that said housing having front (1021) and rear (1022) portions of a selected outside continuous constant diameter providing two spaced continuous circumferential zones of frictional contact with the soil during boring, said front and rear portions being operable to reduce friction with the wall of the bore formed by the tool and to permit the tool to turn in its path along a shorter radius.
