eckel power tong dies for sale

Tong dies have come a long way since tongs became commonplace in the oilfields. Eckel has been at the forefront of this developing technology with the development of larger wrap-around type dies for many of its tong models. We offer coarse tooth design and fine tooth design depending on the application.

Rig Dies (Typically 1" and 1-1/4" wide) are available in coarse tooth die are typically used for casing and drill pipe where tool joint O.D. sizes vary from joint to joint. Also, Drill Pipe is also a harder steel and rig dies provide a more aggressive and better grip. Rig dies are available with the following surface areas:

Coated Contour True Grit® Dies: Used on chrome and fiberglass tubulars where reduced die penetration and die marking is greatly desired. For more information refer to the

Eckel has been at the forefront of this developing technology with the development of larger wrap-around type dies for many of its tong models.

Wrap-Around Dies are considered the best choice for thinner wall tubulars where point loading is a concern. Wrap-Around Dies are symmetrically spaced from each other at all times insuring an equally distributed load on the tubular. Having a larger gripping surface area allows more teeth to come in contact with the tubular. Wrap-Around Dies come in any size to match tubing and casing tubulars and API coupling diameters. Wrap-Around dies are available with the following surface areas:

Coated True Grit® Dies: Used on chrome and fiberglass tubulars where reduced die penetration and die marking is greatly. For more information see the True Grit® Dies section.

Eckel offers contour type dies for tubing sizes on many of our tongs which use pivot heads. In addition to our contour dies, we provide A and S series wrap-around dies for our 13-3/8 and 20 Standard casing tongs, providing a larger gripping area and reducing pipe damage. Rig type dies are used extensively for 4-inches and above. Sliding heads with rig dies is the best choice when running drill pipe connections.
