Les tarières simples comprennent des matériels de taille et de performance très variées. Il existe des tarières légères portatives(tarière à main ou petite mototarière) et du matériel plus lourd(tarière montée sur camion ou chenille). La tarière est enfoncée par rotation à l'aide d’un train de tiges. La rotation et la forme hélicoïdale de la tarière permettent son introduction dans le sol. Lorsque la tarière est retirée, les sols forés piégés entre les spires de l'hélicoïde peuvent être remontés en surface. Comme pour le carottier, la tarière simple doit être remontée après chaque passe pour être débarrassée des sols avant d’être réintroduite dans le trou de forage. 1, record 3, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20simple

Les tarières simples comprennent un outil hélicoïdal fixé au bout d’un train de tiges. Les tarières continues sont des vis sans fin, constituées de tiges hélicoïdales assemblées bout à bout. Les tarières permettent de forer à moindre coût dans des terrains meubles et ne comportant pas de blocs. [...] L’avantage de cette technique par rapport à la tarière simple est qu’il n’est pas nécessaire de remonter l’outil après chaque passe car les sols sont remontés en continu le long des spires grâce au mouvement ascendant de l’hélicoïde généré par la rotation. 1, record 3, French, - tari%C3%A8re%20simple

An appliance for loosening coal by means of high-pressure water and oil. It consists of a round stainless steel bar with small telescopic rams acting on a steel liner in a shothole. The bar is connected to a hand- or power-operated pump placed near the face. The high-pressure liquid from the pump causes the rams and liner to exert a pressure sufficient to loosen or break down the coal. It is a safe method of coal breaking without the use of explosives. It has not, however, made the progress originally anticipated. 2, record 5, English, - coal%20buster
