      @@lifeasweknowit5280 Are you able to back charge this additional work you had to do outside of scope? Are these flat bid jobs, or T&M... I did not even realize you had to modify the occupied conduit in the 2nd repair.... WoW.. these services just push everything out of their way to fix their own problem (water line) and end up damaging fiber conduit in the process... What if they broke that orange conduit fiber line, then the service would have been screwed with a broken conduit as well as fiber, because the water department was careless... Seems like this is the world we live in now.,

    Never seen that type of housing with no threads for the tri hawk. Is it pretty firm when trying to rock and steer or a little loose? Curious to know because I like how easy it looks to change different bit types.

    Cool stuff! I just got fiber installed in my neighborhood about 5 months ago. I'm not familiar with the terminology, but I had noticed numerous of those squares (7:50) throughout or street. I found it funny when I found a traffic cone that was placed upside down in one of the holes they made between our mailboxes. But they came back within a day or so and got everything all patched up.

    Those teeth were toasted while installing. Man why do you hit the top with hammer? It has a vidia point. Which cracked with first two stroke.

      l live the other side of the word. I know you have most of wood housing. Here is everything stone or concrete. So it is well know here. However I have couple of friends, who are working tumbstones. They are properly hard. Nothing scratch it, except vidia. Saidly only a handful old tool-blacksmith left. They basicly died out.

    We got that X3 housing with the gauntlet when we hit some rock. Definitely not as hard as what yall went through but it got our job done with no teeth broke. How was it getting the broke ones out? It seems like you may need something more than the gauntlet in that ground.

    • @lifeasweknowit5280
      @lifeasweknowit5280 Месяц назад

      We used a punch and popped the teeth right out and replaced them fairly easily. I’m not impressed with that bit setup, definitely wouldn’t buy it again for that ground. Crazy thing is I went back to a paddle bit. That’ll be in the next few videos

    • @spencerlewer7053
      @spencerlewer7053 28 дней назад

      Yeah I think that bit is meant for “softer” rock, not extremely hard rock or else it will break. Try using it in hard ground with no rock and see how it performs. They say you’re not supposed to go more than 5% with the head or else the pull back may get compromised. That screw with the metal does seem like a design flaw that attached the head and swivel, I’m not too fond of it.

  • @chuckmoore4600
    @chuckmoore4600 Месяц назад

    How does the drill change direction, is there enough of a spoon on the end to turn the direction. Is it drilling a 4" hole a little bigger when it goes thru the ground and rock. 65 years old and still a kid at heart and likes to watch. thanks for the videos.

    • @lifeasweknowit5280
      @lifeasweknowit5280 Месяц назад

      Yes you are right about the shape. And drilling that’s when it goes straight technically and then when you want to turn it, you put it in a position and push. Thanks for watching.

    • @codypyle9882
      @codypyle9882 20 дней назад

      There is a bend in the bit. That bend changes if its a dirt paddle or a rock bit. Dirt paddle has more of a bend so we can steer better. There is a beacon inside the bore head called a sonde. It shows the locator the pitch and position of the head. The driller has a screen that shows some of what the locator can see on his locator. The sonde shows both a clock which is how we steer. Want to go right you push 3 want to go left push 9 and so on.
