The tool addresses a common bottleneck in underground utility installation, where contractors frequently lose time retracting drill strings to change components. By maintaining proper tension and securing the hammerhead, the device allows crews to transition between drilling and pulling pipe without removing the entire bore from the ground. This design aims to reduce manpower requirements and accelerate project timelines for telecommunications, utility, and oil and gas firms.
New Easy-Pull Tool Streamlines HDD Hammerhead Operations
Two inventors from Waldron, Arkansas, have developed a device designed to simplify horizontal directional drilling by enabling direct pullback with an HDD hammerhead. The Easy-Pull Pulling Eye eliminates the labor-intensive process of extracting entire bores to swap equipment, aiming to boost efficiency across trenchless construction projects.
InventHelp’s Richmond office is currently representing the invention, which is available for licensing or direct sale to manufacturers and industry contractors. Interested parties can reach out to the company’s Pittsburgh headquarters at 100 Beecham Drive, referencing department 25-RKH-1014.
