Drilling Tools International Holdings,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;), in connection with the Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated as of February&nbsp;13, 2023 (the &ldquo;<U>Merger Agreement</U>&rdquo;), by and among the Company, ROC Energy
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;<U>Acquiror</U>&rdquo;), and ROC Merger Sub,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;<U>Merger
Sub</U>&rdquo;), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving such merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Acquiror (the &ldquo;<U>Merger</U>&rdquo;). For purposes of this opinion, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">This opinion is being delivered
in connection with the filing of the registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-4 (as amended, the &ldquo;<U>Registration Statement</U>&rdquo;)
filed on the date hereof by the Company, including the proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement constituting a part thereof
(the &ldquo;<U>Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement</U>&rdquo;), with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in relation to the Merger, and to which this opinion is an exhibit.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In preparing our opinion,
we have examined and relied on originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of (1)&nbsp;the Merger Agreement,
including the exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, (2)&nbsp;the Registration Statement, (3)&nbsp;the representation letters
of officers of the Company and Acquiror (each a &ldquo;<U>Representation Party</U>&rdquo; and together, the &ldquo;<U>Representation Parties</U>&rdquo;)
delivered to us for purposes of rendering our opinion (the &ldquo;<U>Representation Letters</U>&rdquo;), and (4)&nbsp;such other documents,
certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for our opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, or electronic copies, and
the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of documents executed, or to be executed, we have assumed
that the parties thereto had, or will have, the legal authority to enter into and to perform all obligations thereunder.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In rendering our opinion,
we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Representation Parties, and we have assumed,
with your permission, that such statements and representations, including those set forth in the Representation Letters, are and will
continue to be accurate and complete without regard to any qualification as to knowledge, belief, intent, or otherwise. We have assumed,
with your permission, that the Representation Letters will be executed in substantially the same form as those versions we have previously
reviewed and that we will render our opinion, in each case, as of the Effective Time. In addition, we have assumed, with your permission,
that (1)&nbsp;the Merger will be consummated in the manner described in the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement and that none
of the terms or conditions contained therein will be waived or modified, (2)&nbsp;the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement, and
the Representation Letters accurately reflect the facts relating to each of the Representation Parties and the Merger, and (3)&nbsp;the
parties to the Merger Agreement have complied with and, if applicable, will continue to comply with, the covenants contained in the Merger
Agreement. Our opinion assumes and is expressly conditioned on, among other things, the initial and continuing accuracy of the facts,
information, covenants, and representations and warranties set forth in the documents referred to above. Please note that, for purposes
of our opinion, we have not independently verified all of the facts, representations, and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement,
the Registration Statement, the Representation Letters, or any other document (other than verification as we have deemed necessary to
fulfill our professional responsibilities as counsel).</P>

best professional judgment regarding the application of U.S. federal income tax laws arising under the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder, existing judicial decisions, and published rulings and procedures, but does not address all of the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the Merger. We express no opinion as to any U.S. federal, state, local, foreign, or other tax consequences,
other than to the extent set forth herein. Our opinion is not binding upon the IRS or the courts, and there is no assurance that the IRS
will not assert a contrary position. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that future legislative, judicial, or administrative changes,
whether applicable on a prospective or retroactive basis, would not adversely affect the validity or accuracy of the conclusions stated
herein. Nevertheless, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any new developments in the application or interpretation of relevant
U.S. federal income tax laws.</P>

the foregoing, and the limitations, qualifications, assumptions, and caveats set forth herein, we confirm that (1)&nbsp;we are of the
opinion that the Merger will qualify as a &ldquo;reorganization&rdquo; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a)&nbsp;of the Code and
(2)&nbsp;the disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation Statement under the heading &ldquo;Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations&mdash;Tax Treatment to U.S. Holders of DTI Capital Stock&rdquo; constitutes our opinion insofar as it
expresses conclusions as to the application of U.S. federal income tax law.</P>

is expressed as to any transaction other than the Merger as described in the Merger Agreement and the Registration Statement. Furthermore,
no opinion is expressed as to any matter whatsoever, including the Merger, if, to the extent relevant to our opinion, either (1)&nbsp;any
of the transactions described in the Merger Agreement is not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and without
waiver or breach of any provisions thereof or (2)&nbsp;any of the factual statements, representations, warranties, and assumptions upon
which we have relied, including those set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Representation Letters, is
not true and accurate at all relevant times.</P>
