Drill Rod and Tooling
Advanced and precise engineering are the heart of our entire tooling product line — building quality and reliable products that provide confidence in getting the job completed. Whether you’re drilling through sand, clay or solid rock, Vermeer has the tools and accessories that keep you on the job. Using quality Vermeer drill rod and tooling helps increase bore production and completion.
Original FIRESTICK ® and FIRESTICK ® II drill stem is constructed of industry-exclusive I-135 grade steel and alloy material, heat-treated and forged, measured to exacting tolerances and rigorously inspected to ensure top-quality end-results. FIRESTICK ® is designed to handle high torque while retaining a large inside diameter for superior drilling fluid flow. FIRESTICK ® threads are precision machined and feature a coarse design for faster makeup and breakout, and longer joint life. Field-proven, over 600,000 FIRESTICK ® joints are in the field today.
When Vermeer developed FIRESTICK®, Vermeer invigorated the industry. The Vermeer Firestick meets the highest standards of quality, durability and reliability:
- One-piece forged rod — far more durable than competitors’ welded two-piece models
- Industry-exclusive, modified S-135 alloy steel for added strength and durability
- Designed to handle high torque while maintaining large inside diameter for fluid flow
- Precision-machined for faster makeup and breakout
- Vermeer employs a 100 percent inspection process on Firestick drill rods to ensure consistency to deliver long-lasting performance.
