Why HB-10 Electric Initiator
Electric Initiation
Delivers reliable electric firing energy to initiate detonators. Simple, proven technology.
Why it matters: A straightforward machine that does one job well — fire the round when you press the button.
Quick lead line attach
Spring-loaded binding posts accept lead wires in seconds. No tools required.
Why it matters: Faster hookup at the face means less exposure time for your crew in the danger zone.
9V battery operation
Runs on a single 9V battery available anywhere. Swap it in seconds.
Why it matters: No proprietary batteries or chargers to source. Grab a replacement from any hardware store.
Waterproof construction
Sealed case keeps water and dust out of the firing circuit.
Why it matters: Performs in wet conditions without failure. One less variable to worry about on rain days.
Guarded push buttons
Recessed fire button with guard prevents accidental activation.
Why it matters: Eliminates the chance of a bump-fire in transport or handling. Safety by design.
Portable belt attachment
Compact enough to clip to your belt and carry hands-free to the face.
Why it matters: Walk the bench or heading without juggling equipment. The machine goes where you go.
Built for the bench.
