Bit Breakers or Bit Baskets

The primary purpose of a Mincon's Bit Basket or Bit Breaker is to safely and securely handle drill bits, providing a stable platform to break the connection between the bit and a sub or drill pipe. Engineered for safety and efficiency, these essential tools simplify the often-challenging process of making and breaking bit threads. By securely holding the bit in place, they protect the integrity of the cutting structure from damage and minimize the risk of injury to the crew. Whether on the rig floor or in the workshop, Mincon's bit handling tools are a vital part of protecting both your valuable tooling and your personnel.

Rotary (Tri-cone) Bit Baskets

Designed specifically for rotary (tri-cone) bits, these baskets feature a robust, heavy-duty construction that securely holds the bit in place. The basket’s design provides a stable base on the rig floor, allowing for safe and efficient breaking of the bit’s connection. Its open framework makes for easy inspection of the cutting structure, and the durable steel protects the bit's delicate cones and inserts from damage during transportation and storage. The rugged build ensures it can withstand the constant wear and tear of a demanding drilling environment, providing a reliable solution for years to come.

Hammer Bit Baskets

Hammer bits require a different type of protection, and Mincon's Hammer Bit Baskets are built for the task. These baskets are engineered to provide a stable, protected platform for making and breaking hammer bits. The rugged, full-body design secures the bit and prevents it from rolling or tipping, minimizing the risk of injury and tool damage. The deep, custom-fit cavity ensures the cutting face is completely protected, preserving the integrity of the tungsten carbide buttons and the bit face. The secure fit and solid construction give drillers the confidence to handle hammer bits safely, even in the most challenging conditions.
