TONGHAND® S

Exit-Side Wrench for mini and maxi rigs

TONGHAND®S delivers unparalleled speed, precision, and performance on horizontal directional drilling (HDD) job sites around the world. Compatible with drill pipe and tooling on both mini and maxi rigs. Combine with our PITPUMP™ slurry pump and EMPOWER™ generator for a full drill site solution.

TONGHAND®S IS YOUR HDD EXIT-SIDE "RIG ON A STICK"

Engineered to be the HDD industry’s ultimate exit-side tool, the versatile TONGHAND®S works with drill rod and tooling from the upper range of mini rigs and the lower range of maxi rigs.

The TONGHAND® family of products allow drill rod to be torqued and un-torqued with precision by a single operator from the comfort and safety of the excavator cab, eliminating the use of back-breaking wrenches and removing personnel from danger zones.

TONGHAND®S mounts to any brand of excavator—the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulics safely and efficiently power the system.

The patented TongVise™ easily makes and breaks joints with guaranteed precision. Whether working with drill rod, subs, reamers or other tooling, TONGHAND®S delivers hands-free precision and safety while increasing project efficiency with ROI in months.
