If you push on the end, does it click on or off?


No.

Please see the hint, it comes in diffrent sizes. From 6 to 8 inches in diameter. So it's much larger than a pen or flashlight.

I will add that it is between 10 and 15 feet long.

LOL...
I am glad you gave THAT hint.
I thought the threads on the front end looked akin to something like a tire valve core tool.

I think you Yanks call them hydrovacs. High pressure water into a hole, mud gets vacuumed out, so you can dig up a buried wire or pipe without breaking it.

Glad that helped but I found that my size estimates were off a little bit.

Here is the manufactures size chart.

Oh so very close but no. It's not pipe. Pipe is only part of a drill stem.

Sort of. If no one comes closer by the morning I will consider giving it to you, but it's not really testing equiptment. Althought some testing equiptment needs this to work.

The only other thing I can see so far is that
it is some sort of valve.

Is it for pushing grout through the drill stem into a void or soft material (sand, mud, ...) so that the stem will be supported for drilling into harder rock later?

No. See my last few hint. It transmits energy not mud. Some testing equiptment relies on it. Last hint Seit uses the worlds largest one.

Is it used to thump the inside of the bore, so seismometers can read the rock structures?
