Just saw this too. These directional drilling rigs are beasts. Wonder if they use any rotary tools in the field? I bet their drill motors are something else.

Whoa, that's big news! Hope they keep making those tough directional bits. I've used knockoffs and they don't hold up. Keep us posted if you find out what gear they run.

Bet they run Makita 😉. But seriously, ACT is solid. If they get their hands on SB's tech, could be good for the industry. Just hope they don't cheap out on the tools.

I'm an apprentice in oil & gas. We use directional drilling occasionally. The motors are specialized, but hand tools are standard. Good to see Canadian companies growing.
