Who Is VBM Drill Bits, Inc.?

VBM Drill Bits, Inc. is a U.S.-based supplier of drilling tools and accessories serving customers across North America and internationally. The company was established in California with a focus on supplying reliable, competitively priced drilling tools to the North American market.

From our warehouse in Van Nuys, California, VBM works with manufacturing partners around the world to source and develop drilling products according to defined technical specifications and quality requirements.

The product portfolio includes Tricone Drill Bits , PDC Drill Bits , DTH Hammers and Bits , Bit Thirds and Replacement Sections, HDD Hole Openers and Reaming Tools, and drilling accessories.

These products support applications across oil and gas, mining, water well, geothermal, geotechnical, construction, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD).

But VBM is not a drilling contractor.

A Wholesale Supplier That Does Not Compete With Its Dealers

Many companies in the drilling-tool industry operate across both wholesale and direct sales. For dealers, that can create a concern: the supplier behind their inventory may also compete for the same end customer.

VBM Drill Bits takes a different approach. The business is focused on the wholesale side of the industry and is structured around dealer and reseller relationships.

If you are a drilling-tool dealer, your customers are your customers. We understand the importance of that relationship and the role a wholesale supplier plays in supporting it.

For reseller partners, the goal is straightforward: provide access to drilling products, technical knowledge, inventory, and wholesale support while allowing dealers to maintain their own customer relationships.

What Does VBM Drill Bits Sell?

VBM's catalog is designed to give drilling-tool dealers access to several major drilling product categories from one wholesale source.

Tricone Drill Bits

VBM's Tricone Drill Bits are available in a range of sizes, IADC classifications, cutting structures, bearing configurations, and applications.

• TCI bits
• Steel-tooth / milled-tooth bits
• Sealed-bearing bits
• Open-bearing bits
• Various IADC classifications
• Different insert shapes and configurations
• Air and fluid circulation options

Tricone bits are used across applications including HDD, water well, mining, oil and gas, and geotechnical drilling. For dealers, the product category provides access to commonly requested roller-cone drilling tools without requiring every configuration to be stocked locally.

PDC Drill Bits

VBM's PDC Drill Bits are fixed-cutter drilling tools designed for applications where efficient cutting and penetration are important.

The PDC product line includes configurations for different formation conditions and drilling applications, including HDD and other demanding drilling environments.

Unlike roller-cone bits, PDC bits use fixed diamond cutters to shear the formation. When the bit is appropriately matched to the formation and drilling parameters, this cutting mechanism can support efficient drilling.

For dealers, the category provides another important drilling-tool option without requiring every PDC configuration to be sourced from multiple suppliers.

DTH Hammers & Bits

VBM's DTH Products include down-the-hole hammers and DTH drill bits designed for hard-rock drilling applications.

DTH systems are used in mining, construction, water well drilling, geotechnical work, and other applications where percussion drilling is required.

The product range includes different hammer sizes and corresponding DTH bits designed for common industry configurations. For dealers serving hard-rock drilling customers, DTH products provide an important addition to rotary drilling products available through VBM.

Bit Thirds & Replacement Sections

VBM also supplies Bit Thirds and Replacement Sections for hole openers and reaming tools.

These components can be used when maintaining or rebuilding larger reaming assemblies without replacing the entire tool. Available configurations include TCI and steel-tooth designs, with different designs depending on the application.

This category is particularly relevant to dealers serving HDD contractors and other customers working with larger-diameter reaming equipment.

HDD Hole Openers & Reaming Tools

In addition to individual drilling bits and replacement components, VBM works with manufacturing partners to supply custom HDD hole openers and reaming tools .

These tools can be developed around requirements such as bore diameter, formation, rig capabilities, cutting structure, fluid circulation, and other project considerations.

Depending on the application, a hole opener can incorporate TCI or milled-tooth cutting structures, gauge protection, hardfacing, and other features intended for the required drilling environment.

For dealers, custom tooling can provide another way to offer customers a more complete drilling-tool solution while maintaining the dealer relationship.

What Is Drillian Rock Tools?

If you have encountered the name Drillian Rock Tools, you may wonder how it relates to VBM Drill Bits, Inc.

Drillian is the product and market-facing brand associated with VBM Drill Bits, Inc. VBM is the company behind the wholesale distribution business, while Drillian represents the drilling-tool products and solutions in the marketplace.

The two names are connected, but they serve different purposes within the business.

Why the Drillian Brand?

The Drillian name was developed to create a dedicated rock-tools identity around the products VBM supplies.

As the product portfolio grows, Drillian can represent products ranging from tricone and PDC bits to DTH products, HDD tooling, and other rock-drilling solutions.

At the same time, VBM Drill Bits, Inc. remains the company behind the wholesale distribution network and dealer relationships.

Built Around Dealer Relationships

VBM believes a wholesale supplier should make it easier for dealers to compete rather than harder.

Our Role in the Drilling Supply Chain

Drilling contractors have their expertise. Dealers have their markets and customer relationships. Manufacturers have their production capabilities.

VBM's role is to connect these parts of the supply chain by working with manufacturing partners, maintaining U.S. inventory, and making drilling products available to dealers and resellers.

Each part of the chain has a role. VBM's wholesale model is built around respecting those roles and supporting the dealer channel.

More Than Just a Box Mover

Being a wholesale supplier means more than buying products from a factory and placing them on a shelf.

VBM evaluates product specifications, reviews manufacturing capabilities, compares designs, develops product configurations, manages quality expectations, and works to understand what dealer partners need in the field.

That technical understanding helps VBM communicate with both manufacturers and dealers using the terminology and specifications relevant to drilling tools.

Our Vision

VBM Drill Bits, Inc. and Drillian Rock Tools are being built around a straightforward objective: provide drilling-tool dealers across North America and beyond with a wholesale partner they can rely on.

Whether a dealer needs tricone bits, PDC bits, DTH hammers, DTH bits, HDD reaming components, or custom drilling tools, the goal is to provide access to products and technical support while respecting the dealer's position in the market.

Conclusion

VBM Drill Bits, Inc. is a U.S.-based wholesale drilling-tool supplier serving dealers, distributors, retailers, and resellers with products across tricone, PDC, DTH, HDD, and accessory categories. The company combines product sourcing, U.S.-based inventory, technical knowledge, and a dealer-focused business model designed to support the reseller channel.

For drilling supply companies looking to expand their product offering, VBM provides a wholesale relationship built around the principle that your customers remain your customers.
