Beamdrills were high powered, precision mining tools that produced a high-intensity plasma beam. The beam was fully capable of cutting through almost any material, including stone, rock, duracrete, durasteel, and armor. Beamdrills were used throughout the galaxy in shipyards and industrial operations such as mining and constructions sites.[2]

Beamdrills used intense pulses of energy to mine minerals such as nova crystals and other ores. Beam drills were upgradeable, providing the drill with yet more power and precision to increase mining efficiency.

Beamdrills were readily available for purchase throughout the galaxy. The devices generally cost fifty credits to buy.[1]

Keleman Ciro used one of these tools to freeze the shield generator controls in the "off" position in Moff Kentor Sarne's headquarters during the Battle of Kal'Shebbol. This allowed New Republic forces to land and liberate the planet.[3]
