"89 was my last year underground gold mining. We had jacklegs. the unit was much smaller because the compressor wasn't incorporated. A side compressor producing 120psi via 1" hose was used. I wanted to purchase one several years after the mine shut down because the uses for these machines are everywhere. Technically, you could have drilled those 3 holes in less than 10 minutes with much less effort. It's a glorified jack hammar. I ran one of those in another mine in solid granite. By the way, water as a lubricant & coolant will make your carbide bits last longer & drill faster.

Those reverse slow-motion shots were fascinating, to say the least!

I would suggest using vibration absorbing gloves all the time, when using the Poinjar. I melted my favourite jacket on the exhaust of my snowblower just a few days ago. LOVED the shots of the blast, both forwards and in reverse. I really like when you explain what you're doing. Some people may appreciate if you explain why, also.

Thank you for the great content. Your channel is way under rated.

Good job. My old man bought one of those in the early 1960s in the US. I spent many days operating it as a jackhammer, well point driver, and a rock drill. I was young and strong but, it beat me pretty bad each day. I used a 12# stone breaking sledge to score the line that I wanted to split before drillin the holes. My brother inherited it and in the 1980s was able to get a rebuilding kit so that it worked like new. I think that he still has it. Good Luck, Rick

Binge watching all of your videos, keep it up, awesome work, explosives is something I never have messed with, informative to see!

Getting a headache from handling dynamite without gloves is completely normal. As you know, dynamite is essentially nitroglycerin that enters your body through your skin. Nitroglycerin dilates your blood vessels, including the meninges. The irritation of the meninges is the headache you feel. In addition, due to the dilated blood vessels, there may be a significant drop in blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness or fainting. It is a normal reaction to the ingestion of nitroglycerin into your body and just like in the medical use case of nitroglycerin: the combination of Viagra and nitroglycerin in your body can kill you.

Nice work with both the wedges and the dynamite. I also had to use both when digging water pipes to my house. And for drilling I used - what else than an ex-Swedish Army Pionjär 😉 All the best for your projects and cheers from Finland!

There isn't anything more satisfying than watching rocks explode.

I used one of them back in the 80's had a dirt bit to loosen the dirt and then used it as a jack hammer breaking rock for a footer!, we had the wedges to split rock. We also had a mix that looked like epoxy we poured it in the holes and it split the rock overnight!. Its a neat outfit, love to get another one!.

A very interesting tool (kit). I think you got a good deal. Thanks for posting!

Great fun! I've subscribed and looking forward to more videos.

Another excellent video.....there's only one way this channel is going...looking forward to seeing the crusher in action and your plans for the 2023..... Happy New Year to you when it comes around.....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

One very important thing I took away from watching this video was the dynamite. It was mentioned it can cause headaches if handled bare handed. But more importantly was the fact that headaches come from low blood pressure. My wife and son both get migraines so bad they will actually throw up from the pain. I will look into the correlation in more detail. Thank you for mentioning this.

what a cool drill, and brand new what a great find !!

G'day mate. I was watching with great intent and all of a sudden there was this magnificent river in the foreground and I completely lost my concentration on your drill and started thinking about the trout fishing at your back door. That drill certainly makes it easy to split the rocks even with the wedges but you can't beat those big fire crackers. Good for rocks, stumps, fishing, I didn't say that. The play back's look awesome.

Nice interesting show good video enjoyed it thanks keep them going !

Good looking French Bulldog. Love it how it plays and "does its duty" in the background.

Oh man, did it have that old-school industrial tool smell? Bit of varied greases combined with the paint and the wooden box = you can't bottle that, but if you could you'd be rich. *Nice.*

Came across your KZfaq channel and glad I did. Enjoy the content and subscribed. Began watching all your videos from the first one. Thanks for the entertainment.

Love the slow motion rewind... drone footage 👌I subscribed

Nice! My father had one of these and I didn´t know how it worked.

1kg dynamite 4€!? I wonder why a pack of crackers (ridiculous 20g black powder, 20 pieces) cost around 5€ here in Germany... Your videos are quite good and complex. Greetings from Berlin.

You are too much fun. Thanks for sharing.

Worked in the Granite Industry , great fun , great memories .

I like this machine!!! And what I like even more is that after 34 years of storage, there is no trace of rust on it and it is completely functional and ready for use. This is an excellent testimony to the Swedish army and its thrift.

Вот разрушитель природы,эти камни миллионы лет лежали никого не трогая.🙂

That looks like fun... Thumbs Up!

excellent work 🙂🙃I especially enjoyed the reverse explosion in slow-mo 😄that drill could use a handle to stand on to get some additional vertical downward force 🥵cheers from Australia

Nice find! Also surprised how effective the wedges were, seemed easier than I would have thought but that might be because it was not me hammering.

Its actually impressive that dinamite in sweden is that cheap. In croatia that one stick would cost about 100-150 euros. Plus you cant buy it without certificate for handling with dinamite. Im sure that you have one beacuse you cant buy dinamite without cerification

Loved the triple blast! Subbed!

very nice stuff would love to have one of these so I can break it apart to see how they operate

That drill looks like it would be perfect mounted on the end of somthing mechanical! Where on earth does a person casually come across dynamite? I always thought you needed to have all sorts of expensive licences etc Loving the videos, could you do one outlining your land/workshop please

Freggin awesome eye candy watching this man vrs rock, great job, thank you !

The rock is so beautiful!

Excelente trabajo, y muy impresionantes las imágenes de las explosiones, sobre todo las repeticiones en cámara lenta. Me resulta sorprendente que al usar el taladro no uses algún tipo de refrigeración, ya que toda esa fricción tiene que generar mucho calor. Un saludo.

Tre Kronor två takts olja!!! :D One good looking unit! Cheers from Finland!

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys. Wow looks beautiful when you blow them up, and a beautiful drilling machine.

Brings back memories, we use this brand in the Canadian Military as well.

what a cool find.

Those people in 1989 knew how to do things djeez

Blowing stuff up. It can't get cooler.

Beautiful place.

Muy buena herramienta . Y muy práctica al no usar cable o manguera.

You might try a blast mat over some wet earth, with more wet earth on top. The shrapnel could lodge in trees, or cut your tires.

Good video - thanks for sharing your work. You really should wear a dust mask whilst drilling rocks - inhaling the rock dust will eventually cause you health problems otherwise.

I remember using one of these on a utility crew installing rock sets for a power pole on Canadian Shield.

Great Video! Keeep it gooin!

Once a guy uses feathers and wedges to split a rock, life is never quite the same! hahaha

a brave dog you have! Not affraid of loud machines 🙂

Your poor Frenchie was not loving that! 😂

Good job!

Amazing how good of a condition it is in.

The Dynamite is much more fun than the drill but isn't it amazing how much force is generated with the wedges I would like to do the math on that.

I was a brilliant engineer for these Swedish compressors. They are fond memories for me😭

Awesome! Lol....those wedge and feathers are demolition size. ' KZfaqr 'Demolition Dave' has several blasting videos posted. The last time I used that particular explosive was in 1981. It's more highly regulated in the USA now.

what fortunate and let the drill do the work

Wow perfectly preserved.. amazing.. what mix does it use ?

Snyggt jobbat, jag är också ute efter något liknande så jag kan spräcka sten på guldfältena i Finland, tack för du delade med dig, kommer följa din kanal🤠💪

I had 100 Acres maybe 15 min north of town here .. a LOT of barefaced granite. I planned to buy a engine driven rock drill like this! .. for fencing purposes.

Seemed like a nice stone.

Matthias, you certainly have a wide work scope but playing with dynamite, well that’s super cool, better than blowing up gas cylinders like I used to.

Epic subbed. Guess this your job as well as fun time 👍👍👍👍

I like how the exhaust is designed to blow the dust away at least that's what I think I'm seeing

Nice

Hose flies are the worst, luckily I've never been bitten. Looks like they are as plentiful there as they are in the Northeast of the US and Canada. I've been living in the Pacific Northwest for the past few years and haven't seen any. The mosquito population is also very low here. Maybe pointless info, but that's how it goes!

Liked and subscribed 👍

Good thing you didn't discover dynamite when you were 13 or your parents would have constantly gotten you out of trouble.

We’ve got deer flies In Ontario, same or very similar to those you have. These insects are a plague, they are the absolute worst things for going in the woods from mid to late summer. We call them horse flies or Deer flies, and they are abundant in areas where deer congregate. Horse/deer flies will ruin any working or any outing, and many roadways are unusable by foot in summer. I think they are attracted to the extra carbon dioxide created by your breath when you work outside in summer.

👌👌👌Quality of Swedish tools are amazing.

Demolition Dave Drilling and Blasting would be wondering where you got the Brand new antique drill from. I have just come across your channel and have started watching. Thanks

I started building road around 1986,have never used electric caps. Non E much safer .works the same just no electricity to worry about radios static,ect.

Preveč eksploziva!

Nice drill. I wonder if it was intended for rescue and winching anchor points

Intressanta grejer, följer kanalen nu👍

Nice, where did you buy the wedges? How long time did it take to drill one hole?

Me gustaría tener uno de esos rotomartillo nuevo y completa .

Quite a find. Does it have some kind of built in air compressor to blow the chips out of the hole?

The Egyptians, don’t have nothing on your rock skills!! LoL, jk, I’m a commercial electrician, we have a similar drill, only ours has attachments so it can double as a tamper. It’s definitely a workout to use, especially when it keeps getting stuck in the rock.

Is there a risk of accidental detonation from static electricity? How do you prevent it?

Hey wicked video, I bought a pionjar and was wondering what is the deepest you Drilled with it?

Any links for getting for getting a new complete kit ? ;)

The drill has a hammer on it

I laughed it was hilarious when you had no handle in your sledgehammer🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thought this bloke must be Irish🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guess they painted it green for the military ......Pion jar ,,,usually are yellow ....

I also have pionjar 120 from 1989 never used

Little guy behind you, watching, lol

Fantastic!!! 😃 As Andrew Camarata is in the U.S.A., you must be in __?__. Sweden maybe?

Actualmente venden esa maquina con todos esos accesorios y cuanto es el precio por favor???

Gör en vikt du kan hänga på handtaget när du fått den att gå på. Så blir det betydligt trevligare att borra. Vikt på exakta vikterna kan man variera lite utefter behov och bekvämlighet Mvh Patrik

If you could have undercut a trench under the lower rock, and placed the explosives in between the two rocks, what might have happened?.you would have to contain the blast

I'm so jealous of you and your rock drill. The northeastern USA is FILLED with glacial boulders. I would love to break and to remove the boulders from my property.

Perhaps the addition of a vacuum where the drill bit enters the rock might capture the silica dust. I understand silica is rather harmful in your lungs.

Gee, that was my favorite fish drying rock. Gone now. Thanks a lot! Lol

MB are you a certified explosives person

Just came across your channel. Excellent work! Could an excavator or a dozer have pushed those rocks out of the way instead of blasting?

How much do you think that kind of pionjärs are worth?
