Bit Boss™ shoulder screws on Ace™ and Gladiator bits help decrease the force that could shear off bolts downhole. Creating this additional reliability in an HDD drill string gains peace of mind and limits need to replace lost tooling.
Internal testing found that the Bit Boss retention system showed higher rotational cycles to failure than the leading competitor.
Versatility through reverse compatibility creates options as tooling with Bit Boss features will accept legacy 6 bolt tooling. Use existing tooling and transition to Bit Boss tooling as bits need replaced.
“This innovation helps HDD crews to confidently tackle more challenging ground conditions, knowing their tooling is secure and their operations can proceed with minimal interruptions.”
