Tool Description

The Weatherford articulating hole finder (AHF) is a specifically engineered hole finder that incorporates responsive articulation and adjustment based on downhole conditions. 

With a 360-degree rotational roller nose and 8-degree angular deflection, navigation of complex downhole restrictions is now possible. 

The AHF is a combination of the proven and patented I-wheels and patented hole finder incorporated with responsive engineered articulation and modular designs.
