EK-525-G25 Rescue Drill | Disaster Response Core Drilling
*Approximate performance with compatible Lightning drill bits under stated conditions. Actual drilling times vary.
Emergency response / Search & rescue
When the power is out, the mission isn't over.
Hurricanes, floods and structural damage can leave rescue crews working without dependable electricity, clear access or room for bulky equipment. The EK-525-G25 is a handheld, gas-powered core drill built to make controlled openings in concrete during difficult response operations.
- No external electrical supply — self-contained gasoline power for off-grid sites.
- Easy to reposition — a 25 lb system designed for mobile rescue teams.
- Fast concrete penetration — engineered for compatible 1–4 in. core bits.
- Versatile drilling angles — horizontal, vertical and inverted operation as appropriate to the job.
Built for demanding conditions
Three advantages when every minute matters.
Concrete access without a heavy rig, long extension cords or a complicated setup.
Works without grid power
A 31cc four-cycle gasoline motor helps teams drill where outages, damaged infrastructure or remote access rule out corded equipment.
Carry it where it's needed
The handheld, 25 lb configuration is designed for quick relocation around damaged buildings, debris fields and restricted job areas.
Create precise access openings
Compatible with 1–4 in. diamond core bits, including Lightning bits engineered for demanding concrete penetration.
Field-ready strengths
Portability. Power. Speed. Versatility.

25 lb handheld system for moving between tight-access drilling locations.
31cc four-cycle gasoline engine. No external electric power required.
Approx. 3 minutes for a 3 in. hole through 6 in. concrete with Lightning bits.*
1–4 in. core bit capacity for different rescue access openings.
A closer look at the design
Raised rappel-style handling bar. Designed with access in mind.
The EK-525's elevated upper bar adds a convenient handling point above the powerhead—particularly relevant when responders must move equipment into and around difficult-to-reach work areas.
Paired with dual-grip handling and a portable gasoline-powered design, the system supports the maneuverability rescue and recovery teams need at challenging job sites.
