Our cyclone has a clutch for each too and that is nice. The 22W would be a far better machine if it had a mechanical clutch instead of the friction wheel. That would make it a lot easier to hold dow though!
@andrewsengineering They are a nice rig. Compact and tough. Only thing that would make them better would be a clutch for the sandline instead of the friction wheel
@cabletoolcowboy Yeah, the only thing I didn't like was not having a separate clutch for the casing reel. My speedstar has a separate clutch on the casing real and there have been times where i've used both the drill line and casing reel at the same time. The BE rigs seem to make hole faster than the speedstar. Also my sandline operates backwards from a BE, guys that have run BE rigs usually have trouble running mine, but it is much easier to hold the lever down rather than up to come out.

We only go 400', but there are quite a few other bigger ones that go 2000-3000' in our area in southern Ontario
