RMT 12T - Pneumatic Rock Drill

It is a bit heavier than its D-handle sibling model, RMT 12D, but it does deepen – up to 3 metres, whereas RMT 12D goes a maximum of 1 metre.

For vertical work, the T-handle gives the operator a natural downward grip and better control of the drill's weight straight down into the hole. RMT built the 12T with a ratchet-wheel rotation mechanism, which gives faster rotation and higher impact frequency than a simpler design — useful for keeping penetration steady as the hole gets deeper.

Where Is RMT 12T Used?

The RMT 12T is mainly used for vertical drilling in concrete, plug hole drilling, smooth blast drilling, and seam drilling. Smooth blasting in particular benefits from a drill like this — smooth blast holes need to be drilled accurately and consistently along a controlled line, and the T-handle's grip helps the operator hold that line steady.

Like the RMT 12D, it's built for working in difficult-to-reach areas, but its longer reach (3 metres vs. the 12D's 1 metre) makes it the better choice when the job genuinely needs depth rather than just precision at the surface.

Why Choose the RMT 12T?

Choosing between the RMT 12T and other light drills in RMT's range comes down to drilling orientation and depth. If your work is mostly vertical — anchor holes drilled straight down, or seam drilling along a defined line — the T-handle's grip and the drill's 3-metre reach make it a better match than the shorter-reaching, horizontally-oriented RMT 12D.
