GeoRipper 40V MAX XGT Battery Powered SiBore Drill with 4 in. Auger
The GeoRipper 40V MAX XGT Battery Powered SiBore Drill with 4 in. Auger is a compact horizontal boring system designed for creating underground passages beneath sidewalks, driveways, patios, lawns, and other obstacles without opening a conventional trench.
The SB216E uses a Makita 40V MAX XGT battery-powered motor and an enclosed, grease-lubricated transmission with spur-gear reduction. It is designed around interchangeable 2-inch and 4-inch augers, giving contractors flexibility for different boring requirements. The included 4-inch auger makes this configuration suitable when a larger underground passage is needed.
With its portable design and waterless boring method, the SiBore is intended for professionals such as landscapers, irrigation installers, plumbers, electrical contractors, trenching professionals, and tool-rental operations.

Waterless boring system
Compact design for easier transportation and job-site access
Designed for trenchless horizontal boring
40V MAX XGT Battery Power
The SB216E replaces the gasoline powerhead found on traditional SiBore configurations with a Makita 40V MAX XGT battery-powered motor. This provides cordless operation without the need to transport, store, or refuel gasoline.
The XGT power system is particularly useful for contractors who want the portability of a battery-powered machine while retaining the mechanical boring capability of the SiBore platform.
Battery and charger are not identified as included with the SB216E drill-only configuration, so they should be confirmed separately when purchasing. The product is designed around Makita's 40V MAX XGT battery platform.
Horizontal Boring Design
Unlike a conventional earth auger that drills vertically, the SiBore is designed for horizontal boring. This allows operators to create a passage beneath an existing surface rather than excavating the entire route from above.
This approach can be useful when installing lines beneath:
Sidewalks
Driveways
Patios
Lawns
Landscaped areas
Other existing surfaces
GeoRipper describes the SiBore as a portable, trenchless solution intended for applications including landscaping, irrigation, plumbing, electrical work, and related underground installations.
4-Inch Auger
This SB216E configuration includes a 4-inch auger, providing a larger bore than the optional 2-inch configuration.
The SiBore platform supports both 2-inch and 4-inch augers, allowing the operator to select the bore diameter appropriate for the installation. The system can also be used with 32-inch extensions when additional boring length is required and site conditions permit.
Auger Specifications
Included Auger: 4 inches
Available Auger Sizes: 2 inches and 4 inches
Extension Size: 32 inches
Auger Connection: 1-inch male/female connection
The 1-inch male/female connection provides a secure interface between the boring equipment and auger assembly.
Enclosed Reduction Transmission
The SiBore uses an enclosed, grease-lubricated transmission with spur-gear reduction. The geared system transfers power from the motor to the auger while providing the reduction necessary for horizontal boring.
Keeping the transmission enclosed also helps protect the internal drive components during normal operation and keeps the grease contained within the gearbox.
Waterless Boring
A major advantage of the SiBore design is its waterless boring method. The system is designed to create the bore without introducing water to produce drilling slurry.
This can help reduce mud and cleanup around the work area, which is particularly useful when working near finished landscaping, sidewalks, patios, and other surfaces that operators want to keep as clean as possible.
Actual boring performance depends on soil composition, moisture, roots, rocks, depth, operator technique, and other site conditions.
Portable Job-Site Design
The SB216E is designed to be compact enough for easy transportation between jobs. The product is listed at approximately 54 lb with the 4-inch auger, making it considerably more portable than larger directional boring equipment.
Its compact format is particularly useful when access to the work area is restricted or when transporting a full-size boring machine would be impractical.
Typical Applications
Irrigation Installation
Create underground routes for irrigation and sprinkler lines beneath existing surfaces.
Landscaping
Install underground systems while minimizing the amount of surface excavation required.
Plumbing
Create suitable underground passages for applicable plumbing installations.
Electrical & Cable Work
Provide a trenchless method for routing compatible underground electrical, communication, or cable installations.
Contractor & Rental Applications
The portable design makes the SiBore suitable for professional contractors and tool-rental operations that need a compact horizontal boring solution.

Why Choose the GeoRipper SB216E?
The GeoRipper SB216E provides a practical combination of cordless power, portability, and horizontal boring capability. The Makita 40V MAX XGT motor eliminates the need for a gasoline engine, while the geared transmission provides the mechanical drive needed for the auger.
The included 4-inch auger makes this configuration appropriate for jobs requiring a larger bore, while compatibility with 2-inch augers and 32-inch extensions gives the SiBore platform additional flexibility.
Its waterless operating method can also help reduce mud and cleanup compared with wet-boring techniques. For contractors working around finished landscaping, paved surfaces, and other areas where minimizing excavation is important, the SB216E offers a specialized trenchless alternative.
Important Specification Note
The SB216E is the battery-powered 4-inch SiBore configuration, while the closely related SB216 uses a Honda GX35 gasoline engine. Do not combine the specifications of these two versions when preparing a product listing. The SB216E uses the Makita 40V MAX XGT motor.
The drill-only SB216E listing does not establish that a 40V battery or charger is included, so these should not be advertised as included unless the particular seller's package specifically contains them. Battery runtime and boring performance will vary according to soil conditions, auger size, boring distance, and operating technique.
Always inspect the work area for underground utilities and follow the manufacturer's operating and safety instructions before beginning boring work.
