MINNICH MANUFACTURING Booth 933 Todd Jurjevic, Director of Sales tjurjevic@minnich-mfg.com www.minnich-mfg.com 419/903-0010 Let the machine take the abuse, not your body. Minnich Manufacturing’s Hornet is an ergonomic machine to drill gas leak detection and extraction holes. The Hornet was designed to be compact, lightweight and easy to move. The Hornet takes the drill out of the hands of the operator, which isolates the vibration to the machine and not the operator’s body. The unit also feeds the drill in and out, which allows the operator to stand in an upright position to help prevent lower back injuries.
