Claim 10:
11. A multi-tool boring system comprising:
a track assembly comprising two tracks extending parallel to a primary axis of the multi-tool boring system;
a jacking frame slidably supported on the track assembly; and
an impact plate assembly attached to the jacking frame, wherein:
the impact plate assembly comprises an impact plate and a plurality of shock absorbers positioned between the impact plate and the jacking frame along an outer edge of the impact plate,
the impact plate comprises an impact plate opening defined by an inner edge, configured to engage and support a pneumatic rammer when the pneumatic rammer is attached to the impact plate and partially protrudes into the impact plate opening,
the impact plate assembly further comprises a plurality of additional shock absorbers and a plurality of supporting bolts such that each of the plurality of supporting bolts protrudes through one of the plurality of additional shock absorbers and such that each of the plurality of additional shock absorbers is positioned closer to the primary axis than any one of the plurality of shock absorbers, and
the jacking frame comprises a frame plate such that the plurality of shock absorbers and the plurality of additional shock absorbers are disposed between and in contact with each of the impact plate and the frame plate and such that the plurality of supporting bolts is bolted into the frame plate.
