New LaValley Tonghand Exit-Side Wrench for HDD Drillers
Increases Torque-Up Safety, Efficiency
LaValley Industries’ new Tonghand exit-side wrench attachment provides horizontal directional drillers with a safer, more efficient way to torque up and break pipe joints, reamers and subs.
The safety factor was a major element of the design process, according to Jason LaValley, president of LaValley Industries and inventor of the Tonghand. “My goal in developing this new exit-side wrench was exactly the same as in developing our original pipe-handling product, the Deckhand,” he says. “I wanted a better and safer way to get the job done.”
