When It Has to Last, It Has to be Kondex!

If you’re tracking how long your tooling lasts, you understand that the durability of your HDD bits and housings significantly impacts your profitability. While each job may have different conditions, consistently longer-lasting products provide advantages in jobsite profitability and precise job costing. Drillers looking to avoid frequent replacements choose Kondex for their HDD tooling needs.
The Original Laser Clad Company in HDD
Kondex Drill Defender products are superior to alternatives because of their patented laser cladding technology, which outperforms all other wear prevention methods. Kondex was the first to introduce laser cladding to HDD tooling – “The OG LC” – and we’ve provided this technology to multiple markets for 15 years. When we brought it to HDD, Kondex became a disruptor to the industry giants whose profits depend on fast-wearing tooling. Others may attempt to copy our technology, but only Kondex laser cladding provides the full strength and durability to deliver long-lasting performance, and the highest potential driller returns.
Longest-Lasting Housings
Ask your dealer for Kondex Drill Defender tooling, including its newest laser-clad flat bit housings available in 3”, 3.25”, and 3.5” sizes. Our wear protection on these and our splined housings prevents the door from wearing shut, so you can say goodbye to grinding the door open! Laser cladding greatly outlasts hard face welding, so you can also stop allocating limited resources to this tedious and metallurgically damaging task.
