FAQ

What are jaw dies used for in HDD?

Jaw dies are gripping components in breakout wrenches that hold drill pipe securely during make-up and break-out operations in directional drilling.

When should you replace jaw dies?

Jaw dies should be replaced when teeth become worn, smooth, or begin slipping under torque, which can damage drill pipe and reduce efficiency.

What material is best for jaw dies?

Hardened steel jaw dies are ideal for general use, while carbide jaw dies provide extended life in highly abrasive drilling seasons.
