Bjørnar Hetland

Pipefitter @ Finn Midbøe AS

We find that installation is twice as fast with Snapdrill. It is also a major advantage that there is no need to use a pilot drill, which breaks easily. Hole saws do not snag either, making the work much safer. Less wear and tear on both the body and the equipment.

Alexander Öhman

Pipefitter @ Bravida Umeaå

Provides faster and more ergonomic work with sprinklers. Even the ‘old-timers’ like it!

Jannic Ekornes

Contract Division Manager @ Western States Fire Protection

Field crew really liked the ease of utilizing the Snapdrill to fabricate outlets for branch lines and arm overs to sprinkler drops in lieu of having to cut up pre-fabricated pipe that did not fit. The cost of the Snapdrill was paid for on this initial project.

Frode Horpestad

Branch Manager @ Sig Halvorsen

A machine we cannot do without. Drilling by hand is not an option. Snapdrill delivers increased productivity and improved HSE.

Jake Brown

Fabrication Shop Manager @ Progressive Mechanical

We are experiencing increased productivity of roughly 2 to 3 times vs the other product we were using prior, with extended life of the consumable.

Shawn Kramer

Manufacturing Manager @ FS Elliott

This tool allows us to fit and now drill holes in place without having to move pipe to a drill press, this has saved me hours of time. The ROI was easy to see.
