Attempting To Rescue a GIGANTIC Drill Rod Tool Joint
Today Matt is trying his best to rescue a busted tool joint off a gigantic broken drill rod. It's been brutally mauled by the Big Rig, so it's ugly as hell and hard to grab... But that's what makes it all the more fun... Enjoy! ABOUT HAL HEAVY DUTY We're a real life machine shop for a 60 year old drilling company located in Central Queensland, Australia. Our job is to keep rigs running in the field - fixing all the stuff drillers break and creating all the custom gear they need to get the job done. We run two CNC's, manual repair lathes, a few mills and a big green Megabore Lathe we call "THE HULK"... and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful tools for odd (usually oversize) jobs. We release our weekly video at 1pm Friday (AEST), so be sure to subscribe if you want to see stuff you really won't find anywhere else.
