Drag Bits
Drag bits are economical tools designed for drilling in soft, unconsolidated formations such as clay, sand, shale, and some soft rock. They feature rigid, blade-style cutting surfaces—typically in chevron or step-type designs—that scrape and gouge material as the bit rotates.
Drag bits are ideal for water well, geothermal, and construction drilling, especially in applications where precision and cost-effective tooling are important.
At Bit Brokers International, we offer drag bits in sizes up to 36”, with configurations ranging from 3-way up to 6-way, built to suit your specific drilling needs.
Step-type drag bits are designed for fast, efficient drilling in soft to medium-soft formations such as clay, sand, shale, and loamy soils. They feature a stepped cutting profile that aggressively gouges and removes material, allowing for high penetration rates in unconsolidated ground.
While step bits typically drill faster than chevron bits, they may have a shorter lifespan in abrasive conditions due to their more aggressive cutting action.
At Bit Brokers International, we offer step-type drag bits in a wide range of sizes and blade configurations to suit your drilling project and formation needs.
Chevron drag bits are built for steady, reliable drilling in very soft to soft formations such as clay, sand, and unconsolidated soils. With their V-shaped cutting structure, chevron bits deliver smooth, balanced cutting and promote even wear across the bit.
Though not as fast-drilling as step-type drag bits, chevron bits offer greater durability, making them ideal for longer runs and projects where wear resistance is a priority.
At Bit Brokers International, we provide chevron drag bits in various sizes and configurations to match your drilling needs and ground conditions.
Bit Brokers International supplies the best quality drag bits in the industry with sizes ranging from 1 ½” to custom built 30”. They are offered in both Chevron and Step type and in either 3-way or 4-way. Drag bits do best in soft formations such as clay or sand and in some very soft rock (they do not do well in hard rock formation).
