Sniper Rock Tools

What separates StraightLine's Sniper from similar designs is that our 3 main carbide cutters cut independent paths around the tool's centerline, achieving an optimum cutting angle, producing a smoother cutting action, and delivering longer bit life.

Features of our Sniper Rock Tool include (Click image to enlarge):

• 
  Designed for Rock
  Perfect in non-compactable conditions like Hardpan, Shale, Sandstone, and Rock Formations up to 15,000 psi.
• 
  Independent Cutting Paths
  Cutter #1 initiates the cut, cutter #2 makes a slightly deeper relief cut just inside the initial cut, and finally cutter #3 breaks the chip for easy removal.
• 
  Carbide Studded Heel
  The heel elevates carbide cutters into the top of the tunnel to accelerate steering and minimizes wear at the steering surface.
• 
  Strategic Carbide Placement
  All body carbide is soldered in place and is located on all steering surfaces and edges that lead into the cut.
• 
  Reinforced Bit Face
  The bit face provides a significant area to support the 3 main cutters and is carbide lined for superior performance.
• 
  Field Serviceable
  Main carbide cutter punch-out holes are easily accessible, making field service a breeze.
