Nemo Marine underwater drill

Nemo Marine underwater drill a must-have for the hands-on reefer

Nemo power Tools is a new company that has literally made a big splash with a couple of underwater tools that are unlike anything on the market today. Nemo makes an underwater drill and an underwater angle-grinder, but for the sake of aquarium use we’re going to focus on the Nemo underwater drills.

The Nemo Underwater Drill comes in a few different models, based on their intended usage, beginning with the Pool & Spa version which starts out at $821. This model is fine for depths up to 5 meters (15 feet) but for use around large saltwater tanks and environments the Divers V2 and Marine edition Nemo Underwater Drills will be the ones that reefers should consider.

The Nemo Divers V2 Underwater Drill is not just waterproof, and submersible, but specifically made to be used deep underwater. This unique power drill includes a pressurization port so that users can can take the Nemo V2 Underwater Drill as deep as 50m or 164 feet deep, but thankfully our tanks aren’t that deep. The Nemo Divers V2 is priced at $725 and although we can’t see individual reefers investing in such a heavy duty tool with limited aquarium uses, this could be a cool device for reef clubs to purchase and loan to their club members when it is needed.

y now you might be wondering why any reefer would want or even need a cordless that is not only waterproof, but also submersible. Well, the uses may be limited but having an underwater drill like the Nemo could be incredibly useful for aquascaping large exhibits, especially for drilling holes in which to place corals. But the best use we can think of is for polishing acrylic underwater without having to use expensive pneumatically powered tools.

Really this device probably only applies to marine aquarium professionals who need an underwater tool for something really specific. No one could have predicted that Dremel tools would become so useful in marine aquariums and fragging either, so who knows if there’s a future for the Nemo underwater drill in our little microcosm of the aquarium world.

Flower Anemones have become the darling of the nano reef aquarium world, providing us with a veritable rainbow of colors and combinations in a hardy, easy to keep reef animal. Initially the orange colored specimens either with orange mouths, orange tentacles or other juiced colors were the hottest specimens to get but now it’s all about that yellow. 

The Rainbow Reef at VP Corals in Taipei Taiwan is the kind of reef tank many of us have dreamed of doing, but this is the first time we’ve ever seen anything like it in real life. This broad shallow tank is four meters by 1.5 meters long, around 14 feet by 5 feet wide, and just barely a foot deep.

Introducing the Max Planck 6000

Nemo Power Tools Dive Lights

Nemo Power Tools are the first of their kind

The world’s only completely submersible battery-operated power tools.

Nemo Power Tools are the first of their kind and the world’s only completely submersible battery-operated power tools. The Nemo V1 Drill was originally custom-designed and built for scientific and government organizations in 2012. The technology was then adapted into a commercial version and production began in 2013.

Since then, Nemo Power Tools has developed a wide range of power tools and accessories for work in, around and under the water. We pride ourselves in working together with our partners and clients to better understand what they need to do their work more quickly and easily. Our love of innovation combined with our desire to provide our customers with useful, quality products means that we integrate new and exciting technologies into our products. Nemo Power Tools uses technologies generally found in more high-tech products: batteries and electronics from the drones industry, cooling technology from the computer industry, and sealing and fabrication methods from the marine industry. 

 

Since our founding in 2014, we have expanded our product line to include a wide variety of heavy-duty tools for use above and below the water including several models of drills, impact wrenches, impact drivers, angle grinders, and hammer drills. Our list of tools is growing all the time, and we have introduced a 6,000 lumen dive light that helps both commercial and recreational divers see more than ever under the water. Other products coming soon include a tough, cordless SDS Rotary Hammer, the world’s most powerful battery-operated dive light and a brushless-motor hammer drill with a working depth of up to 100M. We’re now working on a battery-operated, handheld boat hull cleaning brush to cut down on the time and effort professionals and boat owners spend on maintaining their vessels.

Today, Nemo tools are being used around the world by commercial and research divers, pool professionals, boat owners, plumbers, construction workers, military divers, rescue teams, and a lot more. We are happy to partner with almost 100 distributors and dealers in 45 countries, bringing Nemo innovation and quality to customers around the globe.

Whether you’re building bridges, repairing docks, cleaning ship propellers, or installing a boat lift, commercial diving is hard. Nemo Power Tools makes it easier. Use the world’s first submersible cordless tools to save time and money.

Our innovative tools are light, maneuverable and feature some of the world’s most innovative technologies to help you do your tough jobs better. Our battery-operated submersible impact wrench and impact driver will make you wonder how you’ve done it all these years with pneumatic tools.
