I used this tool 3 mo ths ago on a main water service that ran under a 24' driveway and it worked perfectly. Fantastic inexpensive tool that only really required one person. Awsome tool.
I've been using this tool for over 10 years. It works okay, still a lot of work. The only suggestion I would make is we place brick or block under the drill pipe to help hold it up so you don't kill yourself trying to hold the drill level the whole time.
@@Rodriguezfamily512 Home Depot or Lowe's they are 3/4-in galvanized pipe you can buy them in sections 8 ft 10 ft 4 ft 2 ft you just add them on with couplings and the reducer goes on the board tool itself it's great you don't have to spend a lot of money
That was my first thought. Got enough to do w/o trying to keep the pipe at the proper pitch & direction. Make a simple cradle that you can stake into the ground (fixed base) with an adjustable top (i.e., both front and back adjust side-to-side (for proper direction) and tilt (for pitch)). Steel for the base and wood for the top - fairly cheap & easy to make.
For drainage I got an offer for $8,000 and they needed to go underneath my driveway. But instead of boring under the 25 ft wide driveway they wanted to break up the concrete and put down a new driveway. I mean that's ridiculous. I did it myself and was able to get underneath the driveway was a lot of work but far easier and cheaper than putting down a new driveway.
We have one and broke couplings and threaded ends in heavy clay, and lost one bit. Switched everything to schedule 80 and extra heavy couplings and it was better but wish it had called for that ahead of time so we would not have learned the hard way. Also we had to turn the water up to "cutting flush" level, clay would not displace apparently.
I think on your own property this would be a good tool, but for roadway where easements are used for utilities, there's a good chance you are going to get phone, fiber, cable, maybe even a power cable wrapped around that spindle as you bore through to the other side.
Do people know if this business still around? I ordered a boring kit from their website over a month ago but did not receive the tool from them. I called many time but no answer and can’t leave messages, no email reply as well.
Im a landscape contractor and we do a lot of sprinkler system installation. And sometimes we have to go under concrete slabs. Where can I get this set up. Can you send me the website or tell me where can I get one please. And you guys are awesome by the way! Great job!
Great tool! Looks like it's intended for fairly hard, stable soils. Any suggestions for looser or sandy soil? Less or quieter music, please. Loud "Oh, a oh, a oh, a hah ha Oh, a oh, a oh, a hah ha Oh, a oh, a oh, a hah ha" gets old quickly. Oh, a oh, a oh, a hah ha. 3:35 please increase dwell time of the text.
With the Borzit system, the cuttings are not pushed back out of the bore. The water is used to moisten the soil so that the bit can compress the cuttings into the wall of the bore. Too much water can cause the soil to collapse around the bit. The system actually requires very little water pressure.
Hi - yes still in business! If you would, can you email me at info@borzitcom and I can send you my direct phone number, or I can get right back to you. I'm so sorry the voice mail hasn't gotten an answer for you. Thank you!
What's the total boring time for that 45' run? Not setup, just the run time from start to finish? Looks friggin ingenious! Tell me something good and you'll have a new customer! 😁
The Milwaukee drill is just one option. You can use any industrial type drill that has a 1/2" chuck, a power rating of 7-9 amps, and turns a constant speed, not variable. Variable speed household-type drills are not powerful enough to push the pipe through the bore.
I'm guessing the fact that because they think that their tool is good, it completely negates the need for any type of personal safety gear. That drill will rip your hand off and not apologize... Not trying to be a dick, but no gloves, no safety glasses???... Can't really see their boots to know if they're steel toe, but maybe I'm just getting to old... Or I've been brainwashed into thinking that you need safety gear everyday for every job...
Not wearing gloves is the safest thing you can do here bud. If you were to have gloves on and you grab the the rod while it’s spinning, best believe your hand is going to get caught in that. Only speaking from experience. When I first started working in jobs similar as this one, I would always wear gloves until I was advised not to. Haven’t worn gloves ever since. Now the not wearing safety goggles part, rocks don’t necessarily come flying at you so no need for that either but to each their own.
Wearing gloves with a spinning object will surely rip your hands off……. Safety glasses on an operation such as this as a personal choice. It’s not like they’re grinding or any other task that’s throwing things into the air………. Steel toed boots they’re not ironworkers, and you forgot to mention lack of a hardhat or a safety harness in case they fell off the planet…… not trying to be a dick, but maybe you did get a little brainwashed. It’s not like they’re working for the army core of engineers waiting for OSHA to show up…….

Where did you get the bore rods at?

Can it penetrate rocks???
@@googlny Not big ones, it pushes aside baseball, grapefruit size fairly easily.

Looks good. I'm an irrigation contractor in Vegas, the ground is so hard here. This will make my life easier.

Could you use 1" sucker rod or something?
Yes that is an equipment I need to install a tie rod to strengthen lateral force of earth eambankment
I think on your own property this would be a good tool, but for roadway where easements are used for utilities, there's a good chance you are going to get phone, fiber, cable, maybe even a power cable wrapped around that spindle as you bore through to the other side.
would this work on masonry hammer drill?

How long would boring through a driveway like this take?
How can I attach 1” IPS pipe to the end of the bit or pipe to pull back? Any type of swivel needed to spin and pull back?
You can remove the bit, and attach your 1" pipe to the 3/4" pipe using a reducing coupler. Spin the drill clockwise to pull it back through the bore.
Nice tool. Looking forward to getting one. Good demonstration too could do without the music though.

Me gusta como puedo tener más información del producto
this would work good to put a new water line into my basement but how am i going to hit the right area in my basement
Who do I call to buy this system? I called the 800 number but the mail box is full.
What kind of drill is that?
I believe it is a Milwaukee "Hole Hawg". That is the drill that we were using when those photos were taken and is one of the drills that we recommend.
Is that available in the Phil how much
$239 US plus shipping. We ship anywhere that can receive USPS Global priority mail.
Did you get that music from a horror movie ?
Need to turn up the water to push back the cuttings
With the Borzit system, the cuttings are not pushed back out of the bore. The water is used to moisten the soil so that the bit can compress the cuttings into the wall of the bore. Too much water can cause the soil to collapse around the bit. The system actually requires very little water pressure.
Nice in theory. I bought a kit...it's good for loamy sandy soils.. The main hub needs alot more attention. Mine broke within 20 minutes. 😥
Not sure what you mean by "main hub." Borzit does have a warranty. Email to info@borzit.com for repair or replacement!

Класс.
I'm a plumber and that milwaukee drill if you not careful. It can broke you wrist real easy. Very dangerous drill.I don't like it. I hate it!!!!
Whats a better alternative?
The Milwaukee drill is just one option. You can use any industrial type drill that has a 1/2" chuck, a power rating of 7-9 amps, and turns a constant speed, not variable. Variable speed household-type drills are not powerful enough to push the pipe through the bore.
Probably need to muscle up.
💪😎
If it's powerful enough for this job, it's going to be dangerous.
I'm guessing the fact that because they think that their tool is good, it completely negates the need for any type of personal safety gear. That drill will rip your hand off and not apologize... Not trying to be a dick, but no gloves, no safety glasses???... Can't really see their boots to know if they're steel toe, but maybe I'm just getting to old... Or I've been brainwashed into thinking that you need safety gear everyday for every job...
You have indeed been brainwashed the only danger is that drill getting stuck and breaking your wrist and gloves won't stop that
