Abstract:
A directional drill vice and associated methods are shown. A directional drill and associated methods are also shown. Examples of directional drill stem configurations include gripping jaws configured with a common jaw pivot. Examples of directional drill stem configurations also include a slot in a vice frame to allow lateral insertion of a drill stem segment.

Claim (Index 7):
A directional drill vice, comprising:\n a first gripper, including:\n a first pair of gripping jaws located in a vice frame; \n at least one actuating device coupled to the first pair of gripping jaws \n a first common jaw pivot coupled to both jaws in the first pair of gripping jaws, the first common pivot coupled to the vice frame; wherein both jaws in the first pair of gripping jaws are constrained to only rotational motion about the first common jaw pivot; \n a second gripper, including:\n a second pair of gripping jaws located in a vice frame; \n at least one actuating device coupled to the second pair of gripping jaws \n a second common jaw pivot coupled to both jaws in the second pair of gripping jaws, the second common pivot coupled to the vice frame; wherein both jaws in the second pair of gripping jaws are constrained to only rotational motion about the second common jaw pivot; \n a slot in the vice frame to allow lateral insertion of a drill stem segment into the first gripper; a rotation joint between the first gripper and the second gripper to provide rotation about a drill stem axis; and a rotation actuator to drive relative rotation between the first gripper and the second gripper.
