Vise Jaw Insert 0.79″ x 2″ x 2.5″ | American Augers DD5 & DD6
The 0.79″ x 2″ x 2.5″ Vise Jaw Insert is a high-performance gripping component designed for compact Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) breakout systems. Engineered specifically for American Augers DD5 and DD6 rigs, these inserts provide the aggressive mechanical “bite” required to handle make-up and break-out of drill pipe connections in utility and fiber-optic installations.
Description
Comprehensive Technical Data
Compact-Rig Engineering
Utility rigs like the DD5 and DD6 perform high-frequency connections in diverse soil conditions. Our inserts are built to maintain grip integrity through every cycle:
Aggressive Tooth Geometry: Features a precision-machined pyramid or coarse tooth pattern that cuts through drilling mud and bentonite for a non-slip mechanical lock.
Specialized Heat Treatment: Forged from premium alloy steel and case-hardened to 58-62 HRC. This ensures the teeth remain sharp while the core stays ductile to absorb the impact of hydraulic breakout cylinders.
Precision Decimal Sizing: Machined to an exact 0.79″ thickness to ensure a snug, zero-chatter fit in the breakout jaw holders of American Augers utility machines.

Key Performance Advantages
OEM Interchangeability: Direct replacement for part number 954-0575, ensuring seamless installation and operation.
Extended Wear Resistance: High-hardness surface prevents the teeth from “rounding off” in abrasive soil environments, extending the time between replacements.
Drill Pipe Protection: Engineered to provide maximum torque transfer with controlled penetration, protecting the drill rod from deep scarring.
Corrosion Protection: Finished with a protective industrial coating to prevent oxidation during storage and wet-weather drilling.
Primary Applications
Fiber Optic & Utility Boring: Essential for small-diameter cable and utility line installations.
Breakout Systems: Reliable performance for making and breaking pipe joints on compact HDD units.
High-Frequency Drilling: Designed to withstand the rapid cycling common in urban utility drilling.
