Cable Tool Equipment

Although it takes some time at the controls for a man to become proficient at making good wells efficiently, cable tool rigs are simple to operate. They are made in many sizes and are rated according to tool weight and depth of hole. It always is necessary to know local conditions in order to select properly a size or make of machine. Portability, for example, is important in small equipment so that it can move from job to job quickly. Large equipment is more apt to stay at work in one place longer. Local road laws will dictate the type of mounting needed for compliance.

Most drillers find gasoline power best, although diesel power may be considered for work in high altitudes. Propane or butane (depending on your local climate) conversions of gasoline engines have merit in many cases.
