Deflection wedges are positioned in a generally horizontal drill hole in a predetermined orientation by means of a device which fits on the end of a drill string and is positioned in the hole. The deflection wedges positioned at the end of the device, and the device includes a unit which triggers at the predetermined angular orientation, to indicate that the wedge is correctly oriented. The orientation unit has a through passage for pressure fluid and a transverse passage intersecting the through passage. A blocking member is movable in the transverse passage and at a particular orientation moves along the transverse passage across the through passage. When crossing the through passage, the blocking member is entrained by the pressure fluid flow and moves to a position where it blocks the through passage, thus providing a signal to an operator that the unit is correctly positioned. The wedge is then secured in that position and the device withdrawn from the hole.
