Ergonomic Underwater Drills

The Nautilus Power Drill is Purpose-Built for Aquatic Work

— June 25, 2018 — Tech
Liquids and electronics generally don't mix well together but the Nautilus power drill is purpose-built to work perfectly in the water. Designed by Alander Kalua, this unique power tool credits its incredible features to a turbine mounted in the rear of the device. This turbine allows the water flow to cool the motor of the drill, while also pulling dust through to improve work visibility.

To ensure that the Nautilus power drill stays operational in the water, the power tool features impressive sealing that keeps water out of unwanted areas. Special attention was also placed on the ergonomics of the Nautilus power drill, allowing users to operate the drill safely with one hand. The drill is also entirely cordless, which allows users greater dexterity when working underwater.
