direct pullback
Melfred Borzall’s patented FastBack System answers the call
for faster, easier direct pullback solutions up to 12”.
why fastback?
Don't bother taking off the drill head if your final hole diameter is 12" or less. With the FastBack System you can speed up production and reduce the possibility of errors that accompany handling heavy tooling in a muddy pit. Plus, the FastBack cutter blocks are designed to mimic HDD's #1 reamer, the Tornado! FastBack
Don’t risk downtime costs. If the pit is too small for a standard reamer setup or the final hole diameter is no more than 12”, the FastBack System will not only save you time in the pit, but it will enable you to work around close utility lines without touching them. Ideal for residential bores with congested underground utility that would otherwise be impossible to work around.
Work around close utility lines
Work with less space

Prepare the Mudboost™ Port
Remove the existing plug, then clean the threads with a wire brush before replacing with the MudBoost™ port that provides an added boost of water flow.
Attach the Fastream Cutter Blocks
Line up the dimple and dot on the housing and accompanying cutter block to ensure you don’t put them on backwards before securing with the carriage bolt.
Attach the Pullback Device
If using an Eagle Claw SD™ in hard ground attach the EagleEye, otherwise you can easily use the QuickSwivel™ for compatible Melfred Borzall directional blades.
Attach the Swivel & Go!
If using the QuickSwivel™ + Borzall Blade you can breeze past this step. If using an Eagle Claw SD™ just attach your swivel to the EagleEye Device and you're ready!
