with TONGHAND®
TONGHAND® is what we call an exit-side wrench. It replaces the need for an additional drill rig on the exit-side of a horizontal directional drilling bore. A revolutionary tool for utility installation in civil construction projects, TONGHAND® allows drill rod to be threaded, unthreaded, and torqued with precision by a single operator from the safety of the excavator cab.

DECKHAND® for multi-purpose use
The DECKHAND® system consists of a head unit that mounts to any brand of excavator. Coupled with interchangeable arms, it becomes a powerful material-handling tool. For utility and infrastructure contractors, there are several configurations available to increase safety and productivity:
