HDD Tools and Tooling

DrillHead has been manufacturing high quality pilot bits, reamers and drilling tools since 1992. We build a full line of rock drilling tools and also offer custom HDD and LITH (Leave In The Hole) tooling design and production services. Our roots run deep in the Oil & Gas industry, which we still service. However, today building HDD drilling tools is DrillHead’s main focus. Our primary goal is providing high quality, reliable tools at a reasonable price. That is what has led to over 20 years of success. At DrillHead you’ll find a combination of integrity and innovation. We have developed many patented innovations that are used throughout the world in the Oil & Gas, HDD, Geothermal, Water Well, Scientific Drilling, LITH (Leave In The Hole) and Mining industries. That legacy stands behind every tool we build. We would like the opportunity to build the HDD tooling for all your underground construction needs.

DrillHead has the manufacturing capabilities to offer true custom HDD tools, built to your exact specifications.

We have worked with many of our customers over the years to develop custom HDD and LITH tooling to meet their specific needs for unique projects and drilling methods. This often results in our customers saving significant amounts of time and money they would have spent using tools that weren’t exactly matched to their drilling needs.

If you’re interested in developing a custom HDD or LITH (Leave In The Hole) tooling

solution please contact us, we will be happy to answer any questions you may

have, free of charge.

HDD Tools for any Horizontal Directional Drilling application...

Custom designed LITH PDC bits with weld-on connection,

built by Drillhead to the contractor’s specifications.

This custom design allowed the contractor to increase penetration rates

considerably and virtually eliminated bit changes on each bore. The LITH

(Leave In The Hole) contractor we developed this design with was using

up to 3 tricone bits per hole and was able to bore every hole with just 1

Drillhead LITH PDC, saving valuable time and money. The Drillhead LITH

PDC is the ultimate Leave In The Hole drill bit technology.

PDC bits manufactured to the specifications you need.

Drillhead, Inc. introduced the first HDD PDC design, the Directional DiamondTM. Due to our proprietary manufacturing processes, Drillhead can build custom PDC bits. Any bore size, any blade count and any pin or box connection.

Virtually all other PDC bits sold in the HDD field are downhole PDC designs. This limits their performance in horizontal directional drilling applications. Try a Directional DiamondTM and you’ll notice the difference.

The world’s only HDD Claw Bit, built to fit your needs and your specifications.

Utilizing Drillhead’s patented Cross-Top Claw Bit design, the Qui-Klaw® HDD is built to drill faster than any other bit design in soft formations. Qui-Klaw® HDD claw bits are available in any size with any pin or box connection. Custom cutter count and configurations are also available.

LITH (Leave In The Hole) Claw Bits also available.

Custom pin connections available on any tool we sell, including tricone bits.

Custom built HDD tooling is often the best solution for HDD drillers experiencing low penetration rates or premature tool failure.

Drillhead, Inc. has worked for many years with LITH and HDD contractors on difficult boring and dewatering projects to develop specific solutions to unique problems. As the manufacturer we have the capacity to alter our designs to your needs or come up with completely new solutions. Custom HDD and LITH tooling from Drillhead is often much more economical than an “off the shelf” tooling solution. Our goal while working with our customers to develop a custom tooling solution is to save you money by matching your drilling tool to your drilling conditions. A custom solution will save you time and money. Please contact us for a free consultation to discuss how we can build a custom HDD or LITH tool design for you.
