PRESS RELEASE: Back pain is one of the main causes of absenteeism among drillers. The Inner Tube Puller was developed by a group of employees looking for ways to make drilling easier on the back. With this piece of equipment, drillers can pull the inner tube from a drill hole without undue stress and strain.

What makes it so effective is the slip-resistant diamond-coated rollers. Compatible with every drill brand, the inner tube puller lets drillers extract up to 15m of tube at a time, a feat that would be impossible manually.

Pietro De Ciccio, general manager at VersaDrill Canada, said: “The Inner Tube Puller improves driller safety and performance, all in one go.”
