Briton Thomas Blackthorne became famous for managing to hold a hammer drill in his mouth.

Not only did the work tool weigh 38 kilograms, but it was also turned on.

The Briton set his incredible record in 2007 in Cologne as part of the Guinness Book of Records show.

The sight is not for the faint of heart. A Dewalt D25980 drill with a 24 mm drill bit was inserted into the man's throat.

Blackthorne held the contraption in his mouth for three seconds, with the tool still on.

But this is not the only record to the Englishman's credit.

He also managed to lift a 12.5 kilogram weight using his tongue.

He performed this trick in 2008.

Before this, the man had been training hard for 7 years, having first made a hole in the middle of his tongue.

The Briton inserted a special hook into it, with the help of which he lifted the load.

As a result, several iron weights were hanging from a hook on the Englishman’s tongue hanging out of his mouth.
