Hydratong Wrenches
Hydratong Wrenches
To attach or remove downhole tools, use the Hydratong wrenches to join or break the joint.
1. To join, apply TJC to threads and hand tighten joint.
2. Verify chain tong size is appropriate for pipe diameter. New chain tongs work with pipe diameter
4 1/2 in to 5 in (11.43 cm to 12.7 cm). To accommodate 3 5/8 in to 4 3/8 in (9.2 cm to 11.1 cm) pipe,
remove one chain link.
Read operator’s manual. Know how to use all controls.
Your safety is at stake.

To help avoid injury:
• Ensure only chain tongs and chain are in contact
with pipe (shown) and that chain is correctly
wrapped. Do not use Hydratong with chain bushing
pin touching pipe (shown).
• Stand away from the Hydratong when using it.
Moving tools will kill or injure. Never use pipe wrenches
on drill string.
