A PVC Special Drill Head is also available – The safety ring gives the drill head the ability to be used in PVC, clay and lined pipes. This feature means more reliability with less risk of damage to the host pipe Special Drill Heads can also be used to re-open connections when larger tools, like Twister, cannot fit through pipe or there are dimensional changes inside the pipe. The remaining edges can then be removed using the Smart Cutter.
