From the Devil’s River Limestone to the Eagle Ford Formation, Texas boasts a nearly endless variety of soils and conditions. For a growing number of contractors, a consensus is building that for the toughest formations, there’s one tool you need:
The RockEye Hammer System from StraightLine HDD.
The RockEye’s string of successes stretches across Texas, including job sites in Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and more.

The RockEye Hammer support pack AND 200 gallon tank easily mounts to a truck bed.
Even on rigs as small as 10k lbs., the RockEye 3.0 is the ideal solution when the ground is hard and easements are tight.
With three sizes available (3/4/5-inches), the RockEye offers a number of distinct advantages over conventional pilot-hole tooling.
- Low cost. Low initial cost combined with high production rates (up to 100 feet/hour) turns the RockEye into one of the most economical rock tools available.
- Steerable. Field-proven 2-point steering system gives operators tremendous steering control.
- Compact. Support pack and fluid tank easily fits on a single truck.
- Low fluid use. Using from 0 to 5GPM virtually eliminates the logistics nightmare of obtaining, transporting and cleaning up fluids.
- Small rigs. The 3.0 RockEye is specifically designed to operate on rigs as small as 10k lbs. and small compressors.
- FREE Training. Receive up to 5 days of on-site training from an expert with hundreds of hammer bore victories.
Using conventional drilling rock methods can be an expensive option. On this particular bore, the contractor toiled in tough layered limestone/flint for over for three weeks. The result was frustration and a costly assortment of destroyed tooling. A RockEye hammer was brought in and finished the job in a day and a half.
