Abstract: A tool for making up and breaking out a drill string at an exit side of a bore. The tool includes a fixed vice and a moveable vice for torquing a pipe joint, a roller assembly for threading and unthreading adjacent sections of pipe, and a retainer assembly to retain a detached pipe section. The components of the tool are mounted on a frame, which is pivotally connected to a hydraulic machine such as an excavator. Thus, the tool may be manipulated to remove and add sections of pipe to a drill string remote from the primary horizontal directional drill.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a cleaning apparatus including a housing, at least one fan contained within the housing, a suction inlet in communication with a low pressure side of the fan and defining a suction flow path extending into the suction inlet, and a gas outlet proximate the suction inlet, the gas outlet defining a gas outlet flow path extending in or near the suction flow path. An example method includes blowing a gas from an apparatus toward a particulate matter and lifting the particulate matter off a surface, drawing the particulate matter into the apparatus, and collecting the particulate matter in the apparatus.
