Easy Install with Air Hammer Tool

Our updated air hammer tool kit and main pin design ensures that your air hammer driver does not slip off the end of the main pin when installing or removing the pin. 

Greaseless Closing & Firming Pivot Upgrade Kits

Experience longer-lasting performance and reduced maintenance with Exapta’s Pro-Series-style greaseless pivot kits. Featuring upgraded 1-1/8″ diameter pivot tubes, these kits distribute wear across a larger surface area, significantly extending the life of your drill’s pivot system. Enhanced seals and composite bushings are engineered to outperform OEM components, offering a high-wear surface that eliminates the need for constant greasing. This greaseless design not only simplifies maintenance but also protects against premature wear caused by dust and moisture infiltration.

Our pivot kits are built for durability and easy maintenance. Installation is quick and precise with specialized air hammer tools that seat bushings and seals to the correct depth, making upgrades or rebuilds more efficient than ever.

Reusable Tubes

Customers who have Pro-Series units or have an Exapta upgraded Pro-Series pivot are able to reuse their chrome tubes, if they show minimal wear. Proactively replacing bushings prevents play, extends wear life, and reduces long term costs.

Upgrade to Pro-Series

Increased Wear Life

Our new greaseless pivots eliminate the need to constantly service. Greasing pivots comes with difficulty often leading to premature wear and failure which is why we have gone with a greaseless option.
