A reamer is a piece of equipment attached to a directional drill. The purpose of the reamer is to break up an old pipe as it is pulled along by the directional drill or else to enlarge a pilot hole to accommodate the required pipe size. The reamer creates the space for the final pipe to be pulled into position.

Specializing in Common Hardware for the Cutting Tool Industry over the past decades, RMC Tooling has built a reputation of providing quality tools with technical expertise our customers need and demand. With an inventory of over 3,000 items and the ability to ship overnight when necessary, availability is seldom an issue.

The reamer is attached to a directional drill on one end and to the replacement or new pipe on the other. The drill pulls the reamer through the old pipe or pilot hole, which is ground up into small pieces by the action of the rotating reamer, while the new pipe is pulled into position behind the reamer. A reamer is normally about 1.5 x the diameter of the pipe to be installed.
