Abstract: A ground drilling device having a drilling carriage, which defines a drill string axis, a first drill rod magazine for a plurality of rod sections and a transfer device for the transfer of a rod section between the first drill rod magazine and a position of the rod section along the drill string axis, wherein at least a first connection element is arranged at the first rod magazine and/or at the drilling carriage for the connecting of the first rod magazine to a second rod magazine such that the second rod magazine is arranged next to the first rod magazine.

Abstract: A long-shaft tool includes a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and having a handle at a first end of the shaft and a second end opposite the first end with a holder for a manipulator wherein the holder has a protruding latch pin provided for engagement with a recess of a manipulator, which can be moved from the protruding position into a retracted position. The holder has a coupling half for coupling with a coupling half of a manipulator which is rotatable relative to a base body of the shaft.
