Kelly Bar Adapters
Selecting the correct Kelly bar adapter is key to building a proper drive string.
Follow these two easy steps:
- Remove the auger from the driver and carefully measure the X and Y dimensions of the Kelly bar. (See Kelly bar sizing diagram to right)
- Match the shape of the Kelly bar and the X and Y dimensions with the Kelly bar adapter charts below. The Y dimension on the Kelly bar adapter must be equal to or greater than the Y dimension on the intended Kelly bar.
