Drill Defender™ Flat Bit Sonde Housing, Ditch Witch & Vermeer Compatible

Maximize the life of your tooling with Kondex Drill Defender flat bit sonde housings! Kondex is the king of wear protection thanks to its premium, patented laser cladding technology. We lead the market with this wear prevention, having started using it in 2010, and were the first to bring laser cladding to HDD drill tooling!

Say goodbye to hard face welding, as our laser cladding outlasts and outperforms any other wear coating. Most drillers see 2-4 times longer life, while some have experienced up to 10 times greater distances with Kondex tooling!
