Bordo acquires long drills

Morris Long Drills was founded over 25 years ago by Phillip Morris, a cable installer with
40 years of experience. “Necessity is the mother of invention” they say and Phillip soon learned that there are certain wall cabling applications where only a particularly long drill or auger will do. After producing some items for his own use, it soon became apparent that there was significant market demand from all sorts of industries and trades and Phillip decided to commence full time production to meet this demand.

Sadly Phillip Morris passed away in 2023. Bordo International acquired Morris Long Drills in December of that year and moved the manufacturing operation to its Melbourne facility in early 2024.

Morris Long Drills produces extended length drill bits, auger bits (Ship and
Scotch pattern), self-feeding wood boring bits and hole saw mandrels. These can be supplied with overall lengths of up to 2.1m long. In addition to the standard range produced, customers can also order custom length bits.

Long Drills products are used in a wide range of applications including:
● Electrical installations
● Pest control inspections
● Electric mortice lock cabling
● Timber boat construction
● Tree work
● Plumbing
● Form work
● Landscape gardening
● Drilling of timber posts
● Pole homes
● Cyclone bolt installations
● Fencing contractors
● Timber bridge construction & repair
● Jetty and marina building & maintenance
● Lamp post drilling

Morris Long Drills is an ideal and complimentary addition to the already extensive range of Bordo’s engineering cutting tools and power tool accessories.
