Shothole Casing Tongs

Shot hole and casing tongs made in the USA. Available in Australia through Scintex. Oil, Gas, Refinery and Drilling Rig Tools.
Shothole casing tongs are designed to grip and rotate casing during drilling, exploration and geotechnical operations. Their specialised jaw design provides high gripping force while minimising damage to the casing surface.
Using the correct tong size ensures maximum grip without crushing or slipping on the casing. Oversized or undersized tools can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of damaging equipment.
Unlike conventional pipe wrenches, casing tongs distribute gripping forces more evenly around the pipe, making them better suited to larger diameters and high-torque industrial applications.
Regularly inspect jaws, pins, hinges and adjustment mechanisms for wear or cracking. Replacing worn gripping components early helps maintain safe operation.
They are widely used in mining, water well drilling, geotechnical investigations, oil and gas exploration and other industries where casing needs to be safely handled.
