Testimonials
I was a little leery to purchase since the video shows only dirt being remove and in my district we run across asphalt, stones, and other types of debris in our valve boxes. In fact, since we’ve done our GIS mapping a year ago and we’ve put our sections into ten large grids, I’ve been amazed how many times we have used The Blue Screw on a daily basis.
