Drill Rod
The durability and performance of your drill rod is vital to your operation. Together, Firestick® drill rod and Silver Series® drill rod provide a trusted option for your project.
 | Quality steel. Reliable construction. Precise tolerances. These are the qualities that describe the industry-leading Vermeer Firestick drill rod. The durability and performance of your drill rod is vital to your operation. Constructed of forged and heat-treated, high-carbon alloy steel, Vermeer Firestick drill rod has earned a reputation in the industry for strength and consistent quality. From the robust threads to double-shouldered design, Firestick drill rod stands up in high-torque applications while maintaining a large inside diameter to help maximize drilling fluid flow. Firestick drill rod threads match up, and the internal and external shoulders simultaneously make direct contact. This contact helps with joint quality and reliability, which helps you optimize productivity. |
 | Not every job is created equal. That’s why Vermeer offers an industry-leading lineup of drill rods, no matter the project at hand. For jobs where steerability is crucial and ground conditions might be challenging, there’s Firestick drill rod, the industry gold standard, with unmatched quality and steering performance meant for the biggest and toughest jobs. When straightforward, less-aggressive projects require a budget-conscious option, there’s Silver Series drill rod. Comprised of one-piece forged, S135 grade steel, and threaded in the same U.S. state-of-the-art facility as Firestick drill rod, it is designed for moderate steering applications. |
DRIVE CHUCKS AND SUB SAVERS
 | Preassembled to help provide proper torque and makeup, Vermeer drive chucks and sub savers are manufactured to the exacting tolerances of Vermeer horizontal directional drills. Forged from durable Vermeer-specified alloy steel, drive chucks carry increased strength at the flange, as opposed to billet-manufactured assemblies. Vermeer sub savers are made of rugged Vermeer-specified alloy steel for unmatched durability. Our sub savers each go through a 100 percent thread inspection so they’re ready when you are. |
QUICK CONNECTS
 | The QuickFire® connection system is a Vermeer-original design. The QuickFire connection is manufactured from high-alloy material, machined to exacting tolerances and subjected to an industry-unique heat-treatment process for durability and reliability. It is available in multiple sizes for drilling rigs rated up to 5500 ft-lb (7455 Nm) of torque. On the jobsite, you’ll appreciate the coarse and tapered thread profile allowing four-turn makeup. It also features an eight-sided collar to make flat alignment easier to handle. |
 | The new Vermeer QuickFire® HD connection system for utility horizontal directional drills (HDD) helps reduce the labor involved with changing over from pilot bore and thanpullback tooling. This new connection system builds upon the original Vermeer QuickFire system introduced to the market more 10 years ago. |
Premium Housing
 | The premium transmitter housings from Vermeer integrate many of the robust and proven design characteristics of the rock-focused Armor drilling system into a versatile tool for soft to intermediate ground conditions.
|
Drill bits
 | Vermeer Ace bits provide durability and wearability. The plug-style tooth design of the Ace bit allows teeth to be positioned closer to each other.
|
 | Vermeer drill bits are, in a word, tough. They start with Vermeer-specified high-alloy, heat-treated steel for durability and wear-resistance. Each bit is designed to meet the exacting tolerances for Vermeer HDDs to help maintain peak performance.

hole openers
 | With its ground-up design, this polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) hole opener joins the ever-growing line of rock-focused tooling from Vermeer, targeting rock formations less than 25,000 psi (1723.7 bar) From a single 2.875-in (2 7⁄8″) API box x box body, contractors can interchange wing sets for cutting diameters of 8 in (20.3 cm),10 in (25.4 cm) and 12 in (30.5 cm).With the ability to change sizes, users can maximize their investment in the single body. And in the event of wing damage, a single replacement wing can be purchased and installed in the field, rather than taking the tool out of service for an extended repair period. |
 | Designed and built by Vermeer, Vermeer roller cone hole openers deliver optimized performance and wear life while working in some of the toughest ground conditions. Spanning diameters of 8 in – 24 in (20 cm- 61 cm) in 2-in (5-cm) increments, this lineup offers several value-added features to meet the specific needs of your jobsite. |
