This is a late addition to this thread, but I can attest to using a Borit tool for crossing under large slabs. My father was an electrician and treasured his! We (the kids) were always the weekend and summer apprentices. [8D] With his HEAVY 3/4-inch drill and the Borit running conduit under driveways was fun (plenty of mud)! Even the tightest pavement sub-base could be penetrated with a little more "lean" put into it! [
] Longest crossing I personally was involved with was 38 feet, which I recall took about an hour to cross. Beats the heck out of pounding black pipe for hours on end! Do be sure you keep the drill pipe level for the first ~4 feet or so otherwise you will loose it and angle deep missing your target.
You can often rent a Borit kit from a larger electrical supply house.
