TONGS : Large-capacity, self-locking wrenches used to grip drill string components and apply torque. As with
opposing pipe wrenches for a plumber, the tongs must be used in opposing pairs. As a matter of efficiency, one
set of tongs is essentially tied off with a cable or chain to the derrick, and the other is actively pulled with
mechanical catheads. The breakout tongs are the active tongs during breakout (or loosening) operations. The
makeup tongs are active during makeup (or tightening) operations. Rig tongs are large self-locking wrenches that
are used to spin pipe and in some cases apply the final makeup torque. There are a variety of rig tongs available
dependent on what application they’ll be used for. Some examples are: casing tongs, power tongs, rotary tongs
and manual tongs.
