Drilling method

Cable Tool Drilling

A proven impact method that breaks formations and removes cuttings in batches.

Cable-tool water-well drilling on a rural property
Cable-tool systems repeatedly lift and drop a weighted drilling string.

How it works

A weighted drill string repeatedly rises and falls; material is removed with a bailer.

Where it fits

Useful through varied formations and for directly observing formation changes.

Trade-offs

Often slower than rotary systems but valuable where control and sampling matter.
