1. STIHL BT 131 (from 64 thousand rubles)
If you ask people who understand construction tools, then the king in the world of motor drills will be called without hesitation. The German company has an impeccable reputation as an expert in the field of any units for construction. Another thing is that not everyone can afford such a device. But if you need to take for professional purposes and long-term operation, then the choice is obvious.
The technical characteristics of this motor drill are quite comparable with others from our ranking of the best. The secret is in the quality of assembly and components. For example, a local engine does not require an oil change and practically does not smoke air. There is an air filter that, in tandem with the carburetor, protects the engine. If hard rock is encountered in the ground, the quick braking system will work. This way you won’t kill the tool unnecessarily. A shock-absorbing pillow is made along the edges of the handles. Made not only to protect the foot, but with its help, there is additional control over the unit during operation. Anti-vibration elements are built into the frame of the handles.

2. MAXCUT MC 55 (from 7900 rubles)
A powerful device that can drill not only earthen soil, but also ice. Capable of rotating at 6500 rpm. True, only one worker can start it. There is no handle for the second one. Please note that the manufacturer does not put the auger with it – you will have to buy it. Although this is normal practice. The design includes a gas safety device against accidental pressing. There is a fuel pump that pumps gasoline into the carburetor so that the drill starts easily. This is especially important after a long downtime – when the device has lain idle for a couple of weeks.
All the controls that are needed in the work are located in the area of the right handle. The buttons can be reached with your finger. The handles are ribbed for a more comfortable grip. The fuel tank lets light through, so you can see how much gasoline is left. A mandatory attribute of the best motor drills in 2022 is an anti-vibration system. The engine is closed by an air filter, which extends the service life.

Advantages and disadvantages
3. ELITECH BM 52E (from 7000 rubles)
The same company has a motor drill almost identical to this one, only in the name at the end is the letter B. All characteristics are similar, only the weight of the second model is slightly lighter. But more expensive by about a thousand rubles. Therefore, it’s up to you. The drill is equipped with a standard two-stroke engine. The power of 2,5 horsepower is also enough for drilling ice. But, let’s just say, this is the threshold value at which it is comfortable to drill such hard rocks.
The delivery set is good. In addition to the standard fuel canister and funnel, there is a small set of tools that will come in handy when servicing the unit. The screw is bought separately. According to the instructions, this motor drill must be used by two people at the same time, which ensures faster work. Although many got the hang of working alone, because the handles allow. By the way, in the reviews they deducted a common complaint just about the handle. With long-term operation from vibrations, it begins to scroll and interfere with the correct operation of the motor-drill.

What other motorcycles are worth paying attention to
4. ECHO EA-410 (from 42 thousand rubles)
A professional motor drill for those who choose the latter between economy and quality. This one will take even rocky soil, even frozen ground and ice. Collected in Japan. It should be considered primarily as a device for commercial purposes. If you are looking for an option for yourself, then pay attention to other motor drills from our top of the best. Screws of different diameters are suitable for this device. Note that not all devices are customized this way.
Interesting handle design. The right hand embraces the control. And under it there is an additional handle, for which you can either carry or pull the device out of the ground if necessary. For her, you can take to work together. There is a throttle trigger stopper to avoid accidental starting. The mechanism is equipped with a spring to absorb vibration during operation.

5. Fubag FPB 71 (from 12,5 thousand rubles)
German manufacturer with prices that are pleasant for European technology. Maybe because they are now collected in China. This is the oldest model in his line of motor drills. Features a frame design that not only provides a comfortable grip, but also protects the engine. The handles can be held by one or two operators. Has two gas triggers. Under one of them is the ignition switch. The manufacturer has thought of a simple quick start system. A translucent tank allows you to control fuel consumption.
In the reviews, they came across a remark that it consumes a lot of oil. By itself, not easy – 11 kilograms. The kit includes a container for preparing the fuel mixture. Tricky canister with two compartments. AI-92 is poured into one, oil into the second. There is also a small set of tools for servicing the drill.

Advantages and disadvantages
6. CHAMPION AG252 (from 11 thousand rubles)
The first thing that catches your eye when you look at this “Champion” in the ranking of the best motorcycle drills of 2022 is its comparison with other models. It is more expensive compared to budget models, the power is less. Ice won’t take it at all. More precisely, you can try, it all depends on your strength and means to replace parts in the event of a breakdown. Or it is worth buying a special auger with notches on the blades.
So what is the reason for the price? First, the build quality. Secondly, the simplicity of the design. The package includes an auger, as well as a nice bonus in the form of gloves and goggles. Despite the lower power compared to competitors, it has more turnover – 8000 per minute. The efficiency of the engine and design has not been canceled. The drill has comfortable handles. All controls under the fingers of the right hand. The manufacturer claims a low noise level and an anti-vibration system. But customer reviews completely refute this. Some even advise buying headphones. The device can be used at an angle. Will start at temperatures down to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Power | 1,46 кВт |
Two-stroke engine | 51.7 cm³ |
Connection diameter | 20 mm |
Drill diameter | 60-250 mm |
Surfaces for drilling | only soil |
The weight | 9,2 kg |
Advantages and disadvantages
7. ADA instruments Ground Drill 8 (from 13 thousand rubles)
Very powerful motorcycle. The manufacturer claims 3,3 horsepower. It happens more powerfully, but rarely and not significantly. This can handle any kind of soil and ice. It’s no secret that manufacturers can buy motors for their devices somewhere on the side or use the same motor in different models. And at the same time not particularly care about its improvement. This company set itself such a goal and rebuilt its engines several times to improve performance. For example, due to the fact that the clutch was attached to the flywheel, the latter collapsed from a lot of work, or pulled the clutch along with it. These parts were simply spread apart, thus increasing reliability.
We also pay attention to the frame. Like ordinary metal, without any rubberized inserts. But well made and comfortable to hold. Plus, they are painted so that the hands do not slip. The motodrill can be operated by one person or two. Plus, such a design as a shock-proof “cocoon” protects the engine in case of a fall. By the way, there are also two throttle handles. So that you can work with any grip or if two operators are involved.

Power | 2,4 кВт |
Two-stroke engine | 71 cm³ |

Advantages and disadvantages
8. Huter GGD-52 (from 8700 rubles)
The device demonstrates a good size-to-weight ratio. But power pays for its size. The engine produces 1,9 horsepower. But the revolutions per minute are almost under 9000! But in general, if you do not set him any super-complex tasks and in the form of dense stony soils with an abundance of roots, then everything is fine. He will take ice for fishing. At sub-zero air temperatures, it starts up without problems.
Steel handles covered with polymer. It seems that they did it for the sake of a comfortable grip and in order to reduce vibrations. But with active use, such material, as a rule, frays. But they saved on the gas handle and made it plastic. As we have already noted, the device is not particularly large, so it is comfortable for them to work alone. But while drilling, you might want the handles to be a little larger – this would increase the pressure of the operator and make the job faster. But there is a delicate balance between ease of use and compactness. The screw is not included.
Features
Power | 1,4 кВт |
Two-stroke engine | 52 cm³ |
Connection diameter | 20 mm |
Drill diameter | 300 mm |
Surfaces for drilling | ice, ground |
The weight | 6,8 kg |

9. DDE GD-65-300 (from 10,5 thousand rubles)
Powerful 3,2 horsepower drill. It will pull both soil and “ice” augers. The reducer is strengthened so that it is possible to take stony soil or frozen ground. Motor with cooling system and protection against accidental start. The large tank holds 1,2 liters of fuel. The container is translucent, so you can see the rest. The control panel is built into one of the handles.
The motobur is designed for two people. The handles are positioned in such a way that it may not be very convenient to take it alone. Divorced widely, which indirectly serves as protection for the motor in the event of a fall. The handles themselves are rubberized so that the grip of the operators is more reliable. Although the lion’s share of complaints from buyers to this device is just in time for the inconvenience of the handles. We did not meet any complaints about the quality of the engine. The only thing is that the starter cord is particularly tender. Pulling it slightly will not work, but with a sharp movement it easily breaks. Therefore, either be super neat, or immediately take it to the service and ask to be replaced with another one. The price of the issue is about 1000 rubles. Of course, an unpleasant expense, given that the device is new. Although, maybe you will be fine.
Features
Power | 2,3 кВт |
Two-stroke engine | 65 cm³ |
Drill diameter | 300 mm |
Connection diameter | 20 mm |
Surfaces for drilling | ice, ground |

10. Carver AG-52/000 (from 7400 rubles)
This drill has a relatively large tank – 1,1 liters. Transparent, you can see the remaining fuel. The controls are located in the area of the right handle. Designed for one operator. However, the rubberized handles are wide and, if necessary, can be taken by two. Not too heavy – about six kilos. It is sold without auger, allowing the user to independently choose the desired size of the fixture. The only thing that is not very well located is the cover near the starter. Starting the appliance may scratch your fingers.
Also, the owners of the device are not advised to purchase native screws and other components. It is better to take analogues more expensive. They say that the quality of standard parts is not the best. Otherwise, this is a good budget unit, worthy of mention in the top of the best motor drills. Suitable for household needs in the country. If you are looking for a model for professional activities, then it is better to consider others.

How to choose a motor drill
Matvey Naginsky, a master of construction and installation works, will help you understand the intricacies of choosing a power drill.
Power question
I recommend taking from two horsepower. Three for everyday tasks will be superfluous – why overpay? In addition, high power is achieved by increasing the volume of the engine and other components. Therefore, the weight of the unit increases.
About screws
Most often they are sold separately. Please note that each task has its own auger. For example, if you have to work with frozen or hard ground, then you need to take a nozzle with special blades along the edges of the auger. The most popular diameter is 20 centimeters. They come with removable knives that can be sharpened, which is useful if you buy a device that is not for one-time use. But you can always buy a new auger if it gets dull.
Pens
When choosing a motor drill, it is better to take one with a solid frame. It is not only convenient to hold on to it, it will also protect it from damage during transportation, since the power unit will be suspended all the time and will not knock on the surface.
Read the instructions
First, it is important from a safety point of view. Secondly, it indicates in what proportion to mix oil and gasoline. This is very important if you do not want to kill the motor at the first start. Everyone has different ratios. Somewhere 20:1, somewhere 25:1 and even 40:1. The numbers are not taken from the manufacturer’s head, but correspond to the characteristics of the engine.
Look at the direction of the exhaust
When choosing a motor drill, many people forget about an important nuance – where the exhaust will go. Moreover, the manufacturer does not indicate this in any characteristics, so ask your consultant. Many have the exit of gases so that they go up. This is the most disgusting option – inhale in five minutes. It is best if the exhaust is directed downwards and to the side.
