The tooling package is typically made up of drill rods/pipe, subs (starter/drive, sub saver), bits, reamers, swivels, pullback attachments, and transmitter housings. Selection is normally based on ground, bore size, and rig class.
Yes. A one-stop set can be supplied, so compatibility risks can be reduced and procurement can be simplified. Common combinations are usually arranged for soft soil, mixed ground, and rock bores.
Reamer style is normally chosen by moisture level and soil behavior. Mixer-style reamers are commonly used to keep flow in high-moisture clay/sandy conditions, while packer-style reamers are often preferred in dryer, compacted soil or loose rock. For consolidated rock, specialty rock tools are typically required.
Over-sizing is usually avoided because torque spikes and premature wear can be triggered. Reamer size is normally set by pipe OD, ground stability, and the planned mud program.
