BUILD YOUR OWN LINE BORING SURVIVAL KIT

The global training team at CLIMAX travels the world training customers on proven machine setup, operation, and repair methods. Over the last decade, the training team put together a traveling “Line boring survival kit” that includes all the necessary tools to create a successful and timely repair.

We would like you to have the resources and background information on how to build your very own line boring survival kit, so we sat down with our trainers who provided a behind-the-scenes look at the tools they bring on the road when training customers in the field. “I have been on-site countless times when customers did not have the essential tools to successfully repair a bore. Now I make sure to bring these tools with me so that customers can witness their importance firsthand,” said John Savko.
