Two kits have been introduced for the piercing tool line: an aiming sight kid and a launching cradle kit.
The aiming sight is telescopic to adjust to many job site situations, including entry pit depth and height of operator. It is both rugged and lightweight with a removable scope for safe transport. It retails for $A383.50.
Launching cradles can be adjusted for both vertical and horizontal alignment of piercing tools. Two models are available to accommodate tool sizes ranging from 5.08 cm to 13 cm. Each cradle incorporates drill holes in the base and four steel pins for securing the cradle while launching. The smaller and larger kits retail for approximately $A480 and $A1,015 respectively.
