Create additional reliability in an HDD drill string gaining peace of mind and limiting need to replace lost tooling with Bit Boss™ shoulder screws. Now available on Ace™ and Gladiator bits to help decrease the force that could shear off bolts downhole.
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.
"With the Bit Boss system, bits only need replacing due to regular wear, not unexpected failures,” said Diaz. “That’s exactly what we needed to stay productive in South Florida.”
– Jose Diaz, HDD supervisor for Mears Group Inc.
“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.”
