Drills Faster, Lasts Longer

The Patented Diamondback PDC Hole Opener was created to make efficient use of the technology and overcome operational difficulties associated with conventional designs.

Our design has many advantages including...

  1. No need for stabilizers/centralizers because of its self centring design
  2. No bearing to wear out or seals to fail
  3. No cutters to lose in hole
  4. No need to switch hole openers do to formation changes, DiamondBack openers work great in soft or hard formations.
  5. Designed to cut from OD body and allow for larger passes
  6. Revolutionary Replaceable / Expandable PDC Bladed hole opener
  7. Better rate of penetration
  8. Bi-directional without breaking off of drill string

We only use top quality leading edge materials and PDC’s in our hole openers like Crocodile Composites. More information on Crocodile Composites click here www.crocodilecomposite.com.


Formations

Our Patented PDC Hole Opener uses the best cutter technology and tool design to provide a high performance tool, suitable for most formations.

  • Medium Rock - Limestone, Sandstone, and Shale
  • Medium to Hard Rock - Granite, Marble, and Dolomite
  • Hard Rock - Quartz, Basalt, and Quartzite


The polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) is compact of a polycrystalline diamond layer and a tungsten carbide substrate. The polycrystalline diamond layer possesses extremely high hardness and abrasion resistance, whereas the tungsten carbide substrate would greatly improve the toughness and weldability of the whole compact.
