Ok, you know a quick and easy way to pull back a small pipe. But what happens when you’re in a tight spot and have multiple conduits or one big pipe? No problem. Melfred Borzall’s patent pending FastBack system gives you the pullback devices you need to quickly ream up to a 12″ hole… without ever taking the drill head off.
ABOUT FastBack® System
Fast & easy pullback devices that work with any Borzall bit.
Fastback® Pullback Attachments
Do your pullback with any Borzall bit.
Our goal is to provide you with tools to increase your production. That’s what it’s about in this biz and with Melfred Borzall's new FastBack pullback attachments, you can do just that. Whether you are using an Iron Fist bit for cobbles, an Eagle Claw for shale, or just a good ‘ol “duck bill” we can supply an attachment to make it fast and easy for direct pullbacks.
Eagle Eye
Be ready for direct pull back in a matter of minutes. Bolt your Eagle Eye onto your Eagle Claw bit for direct pullbacks, providing a secure link and keeping the swivel straight and on the centreline. Eagle Eye’s heat treated one-piece design with carbide buttons give you maximum strength and longevity. Performance Features:
Carbide hardfacing and carbide cutters make these tools tough and long lasting
Heavy duty construction
Swivel held in-line with pullback
Iron Eye
The Iron Eye works hand-in-hand with the Iron Fist cobble bit for direct pullbacks, providing a secure link and keeping the swivel straight and on the centreline. Performance Features:
Ideal for cobble conditions
Converts Iron Fist into pullback device
Carbide hardfacing to last long
Quick-Swivel
Stop wasting time trying to shackle up a generic swivel to your bit. The Quick-Swivel is a 10,000 pound swivel that attaches directly to Melfred Borzall blades for quick and safe direct pullbacks. The unique locking pin keeps the Quick-Swivel straight and on-center. Performance Features:
Do direct pullbacks without removing the drill head
Quickly bolts on to most Borzall blased, including Excalibur blade
Swivel stays in line with the rotation of the drill head
Made from the same quality components as the 5-ton Valu-DUB swivel
Quick-Link
When you’re down in the pit, it pays to think quick. The Quick Link easily connects 5- or 10-ton swivels to Melfred Borzall blades and keeps them straight and on-center for quick and safe direct pullbacks. It avoids flopping or jack-knifing that can happen with shackles. Performance Features:
Quick-Link connects 5 or 10 ton swivels to Melfred Borzall bits
Keeps swivels straight and on-center
Avoids clevis flopping and jack-knifing
More secure and faster than using multiple shackles
Fastream® Housings
Open your hole up to 12″ without ever taking off the housing.
Start pulling product within minutes of completing the pilot bore. If you’re going to pull back with your transmitter housing, you better have a tool designed with this in mind. The FastReam housing has an abundance of carbide hardfacing to increase tool life. The housing door is a thick slab of heat-treated steel for minimal flex and maximum longevity.
Performance Features:
Available in side-load bolt on and side-load thread-on styles
Extra thick, locking lid keeps transmitter safe and secure
Robotically applied carbide hardfacing in key locations keeps the FastReam housing online
Replaceable thread adapters enable you to use housing with a variety of rigs
Dual Mud-Boost ports allow maximum drill fluid to flow

Fastream Cutter Blocks
Need a bigger hole but no room to install a backreamer? Just bolt on the FastReam cutter blocks to your FastReam housing and you can ream up to a 12″ hole.
FastReam Cutter Blocks work with the FastReam housing to cut up to 12” diameter for direct pullbacks. Designed after the best selling reamer, the Terminator, these blades enable you to get through tough conditions while providing much needed mixing and pumping action. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Performance Features:

Fastback® Adapters Featuring Mudboost
Special adapters for the FastBack system incorporate dual MudBoost fluid ports to ensure smooth, easy pullback with maximum flow. Give your pullback a boost. MudBoost Adapters get extra mud flow on the pullback side of the sonde housing faster, for more efficient direct pullback and better sonde cooling. Performance Features:
Extends the life of your transmitter housings and backreamers
Allows different threads to be used on a single housing or backreamer
Removable sealed plug maintains high pressure jet at the cutting end during the pilot bore
Removing the plug and installing the Mud Boost port for the pullback reduces pressure and increases mud flow rate
Mud Boost ports can be added to almost any adapter
