Amazing Results! Who would have thought!
This little purchase saved us hundreds of $$. I gave it a slim-to-non chance of boring through 20' of rocky ground under our patio but we we didn't have much to loose by trying. $5, some sore muscles and a few hours later, the 20' of 3/4" PVC that we needed installed under our patio was in place. This tool didn't look sturdy to me and I thought it would never go through our rocky ground and would break up after a few minutes of pounding. It took a little damage (see pictures) but hung tough and got the job done. Note when you purchase this that you will need to glue the nozzle and water hose adapter to the ends of your pipe with plumbing glue. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! THANK YOU ORBIT!!!!

The Orbit Walkway Tunnel Kit is the greatest thing since sliced bread! I’d give it 6 stars if I could.
Before discovering this tool, I spent an hour chipping away with a shovel at hardened clay to get 18” under a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk.
For about $20 I bought this tunnel kit, a 1” x 10’ schedule 40 pipe, one 1” PVC ball valve, two 1” slip to thread male adapters, two 1” slip to thread female adapters and some PVC glue. (I spent a little more to get the thread adapters so I could reuse the tunnel kit later)
Literally in less than 1 minute I bored the remaining 4 feet, it was practically effortless. I must admit I was skeptical this would work in the hard clay soil around here (Southern CA) but Orbit proved me wrong.
Definitely give the Orbit Walkway Tunnel kit a try, you’ll be glad you did.

Bought this to run a drip irrigation system around a 50ft stone patio and underneath a stone walkway.
- You can buy a 3/4" PVC pipe pre-cut for small jobs for pretty cheap $1.30ish and hook this up
- Use the primer/cement PVC stuff... do not buy sealant. The primer/cement combo at HD will run you about $8
- Hooked this up to the hose, dug out a 3ft trench (you must go parallel to the walkway otherwise you'll be digging to China)
- If you are going through dirt, sand, clay... this will work. Unfortunately for me, they built my 3ft paver walkway over existing gravel. I was able to have my entire arm under the walkway moving gravel with this helping. After about an hour and a half, I was able to get through to run the irrigation line.
- Take your time with it, you may want to buy a very long drill bit to pre drill your hole to help get this started unless you want to spray mud everywhere.
- You will get mud and water everywhere and you will get wet. This is not a clean job but it does work and unless you are shoving a power washer underground, this is probably your best bet.

Did the Job
Tunneled under the sidewalk in just over a minute. I live in charlotte, nc where there is lots of clay. Made easy work of the task. Its a bit messy but worked well.

Ok, but rather large nozzle
I tried to go through our local clay soils with this, and had rather mixed results. The nozle end here has a rather large hole making for a somewhat dull stream with little cutting power. I eded up doing better with a garden nozzle that I could adjust to a fine hard stream. That did the trick, though slowly.

Does its job
We live in Boulder Co, with nasty (clay/rocky/heavy) soil, so we were afraidthis product would not work for us. But it tunnelled onder 4+ feet of sidewalk quickly and easily, worked perfectly! Only hard part was digging the trench ahead of time to get it flat and in line before turning on the water.

I had to run a new pvc pipe under the diving board concrete, about 9 feet. This worked and being able to cut off the fittings and hook back into plumbing was great.
