Drilling Rig Bit Breakers | Heavy-Duty Tricone Bit Holding Tools

Safety Shark Drilling Rig Bit Breakers are heavy-duty rig floor tools designed to securely hold tricone drill bits during make-up and break-out operations. By preventing the drill bit from rotating while torque is applied to the bit sub or drill string connection, bit breakers provide a safer, faster and more efficient method of changing drill bits while helping to protect both the bit and threaded connections from damage.

Manufactured from high-strength steel, each bit breaker is precision-machined to match the profile of a specific tricone drill bit. This ensures the bit is held securely without placing excessive stress on the cones or cutting structure during installation or removal. Unlike conventional pipe wrenches, bit breakers are specifically engineered for the irregular profile of roller cone drill bits, reducing the risk of equipment damage and improving rig floor safety.

The Safety Shark range is available in a comprehensive selection of standard bit sizes from 4 1/8" through 36", with custom sizes and configurations available on request. Suitable for oil and gas, geothermal, mining and water well drilling applications, these robust tools are built to withstand demanding field conditions while delivering reliable performance throughout years of service.
