In the HDD business, small parts shoulder big responsibilities. Too much wear on your drill rods starts to deform the shape of the worn sub-saver threads, and that’s bad news for your drilling operation. Get more life out of every drill rod by changing out your worn sub-savers and drive chucks. When attaching the drill rod to the sub-saver or chuck, be sure to torque it up to the correct pressure. And don’t forget your Auntie C’s thread lube!

Changing out worn sub-savers and drive chucks is an inexpensive and easy way to help get the maximum life out of your drill rod. If they are allowed to wear too much, then the drill rod thread will start to deform to the shape of the worn sub-saver threads. When attaching the drill rod to the sub-saver or chuck, be sure to torque it up to the correct pressure.
