Tubing Tongs
The “wrap-around” design gives a 360° grip on the tubing
with 88% to 95% of the circumference area in die contact. As
a result there is little possibility the pipe will be scored or
crushed during making or breaking the string.
FULGRIP Tongs are lightweight, easy to transport and use.
Their sturdy design and tough construction tend to deliver
dependable, long-lasting service.
These tubing tongs are available in four types:
Type A-20 – lightweight, aluminum tong for macaroni tubing
1.050"-2.063" O.D. and plastic tubing 1.050"-2.500" O.D.
Type K-20 – high grade steel tongs for rugged, dependable
field service for tubing 1.050"-2.500" O.D., 1,500 Ft.-Lb.

Type K-25 – high grade steel tongs for tubing 1.200"-3.063"

Type K-30 – for heavy-duty service for tubing 2.062"-4.125"
O.D., 5,000 Ft.-Lb. torque rating. This tong is available with

30B).
SNAP-ON TUBING TONG
Purpose: Strong, quick-acting tubing tong made of high-qual-
ity, heat-treated steel.
Description: This easily handled tong is “snapped on” with
one hand, locking automatically around the tubing. It can be
released only by the operator. The tong is held open when off
the tubing, or in a closed position around the pipe, by two
spring plungers which act directly against the body and lever.
The BJ tong die is held at the proper angle for taking an
instant, positive grip, releasing readily when the operator
ratchets the tong. This firm, non-slip grip permits unscrewing
joints of tubing up to 3-1/2" diameter without crimping.

“MS” TONG
Purpose: Light drilling and
tubing work, including seis-
mograph, shot-hole and
exploration drilling.
Description: The Type MS
has proved its efficiency in
the field on all types of slim-
hole drilling rigs. It has a T-
head latch which, with the
2-step and 3-step lug jaw
construction enables the
tong to fit both pipe cou-
pling and tool joint without any adjustment. The 3-jaw design
permits uniform contact around the circumference of the pipe.
The tong is strong enough to easily break both tool joints and
bits in light drilling operations.
A rigid hanger suspension device allows fast, permanent
adjustment, holding the tong balanced and ready for use. The
Type MS is equipped with the same roll-over hanger feature
found on the Type WS. All parts are interchangeable except
the long jaw, latch, and lug jaws. The changes are slight
dimensionally, but greater performance can be expected.
Size Range: 1.900" through 6-1/8" O.D.
Torque Ratings: 6
