Hougen Manufacturing, a globally recognized leader in tool production, offers a range of high-performance portable magnetic drills available in Canada through Dobco Equipment. These innovative tools eliminate the need to maneuver heavy steel or pipe to stationary drill presses, allowing workers to bring the drill directly to the workpiece—saving time and improving efficiency.
Known as mag drills, Hougen’s portable magnetic drills are designed for versatility, capable of drilling holes in steel and other metals in any orientation—vertically, horizontally, or even upside-down. Their adaptability makes them a preferred choice across industries such as steel fabrication, construction, bridge rebuilding, mining, shipbuilding, welding shops, power utilities, and mobile repair operations.
Dobco Equipment supplies a variety of Hougen mag drill models, including the compact yet powerful HMD904, which features a 1½-by-2-inch capacity and is widely used by fabricators. Recent upgrades to this model include a stronger, more ergonomic housing, a pilot light for low-light conditions, a two-stage magnet with 30% more power, a slot drive arbor for faster accessory changes, and a swivel base for precise hole alignment.
Hougen manufactures ten different portable mag drill models, each tailored for specific applications. The HMD115 and HMD130 are optimized for tight spaces, while the HMD927 includes a power feed for increased productivity. Other models offer variable speed settings for enhanced control. With their combination of power, precision, and adaptability, Hougen’s mag drills remain a top choice for professionals in demanding industrial environments.
