Maintenance Checks Enhance Longevity of Piercing Tools

摘要

Imagine a beautiful yard, complete with aesthetic plant life and meticulously manicured landscaping. Now imagine a utility project that has the potential to disrupt the pristine nature of the lush, green yard. Whether it is a gas or water line, cable or fiber service, the installation of these utilities can cause damage to the appearance of the property. However, a solution is available that is minimally invasive and strives to maintain the quality of the property. Piercing tools provide the answer. These small yet powerful tools allow for a quick and easy way to install utility lines, all through the creation of a clean, compact bore hole. With a number of different tool diameters, lengths, fixed and moving head designs, which tool is best for the project? The diameter of the tool is the first consideration. The general rule of thumb is to size the diameter of the tool to be 15 percent larger than the largest diameter of the product being installed. This provides ample room within the bore hole to install the desired product.
