Behold, the King of the Beasts, The Bear Claw Tool! The Bear Claw blades are burly blades the use large conical cutters to eat through caliche, sandstone and other tough conditions. Our rugged design and engineering make the Bear Claw Tool one of the fiercest HDD blades on the market.
- Ideal for hard, rocky soil conditions
- Large conical carbide cutters eat through caliche, sandstone and other tough conditions
- Hardfacing along all wear edges for a long lasting blade
| For Use In: Caliche, Cobbles, Dirt, Gravel, Sand, Sandstone, Shale |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: The Bear Claw directional blade is used for pilot bores in hard, rocky ground where aggressive cutting is required.
Correct use: Bear Claw blades are selected for HDD pilot bores in formations such as caliche, sandstone, and other dense or abrasive soils where penetration is difficult and consistent forward progress is critical.
Technical details: Large conical carbide cutters concentrate cutting force to break through tough ground, while hardfacing along all wear edges protects the blade body and supports long service life in abrasive conditions.
Incorrect use includes: Loose, soft, or flowing soils where aggressive carbide cutters provide no functional advantage. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of excess torque or inefficient steering.
Short Answer: Bear Claw blades are best suited for hard, rocky soil conditions including caliche and sandstone.
Correct use: Choose Bear Claw blades when drilling through dense ground that requires aggressive penetration rather than fine steering response.
Technical details: Oversized conical carbide cutters deliver strong penetration in hard formations, while full hardfacing coverage along wear edges improves durability and resistance to abrasion.
Incorrect use includes: Soft or unstable soils where mixing or pumping tools are more effective. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of inefficient drilling or unnecessary torque load.
