Reviews
We have been using your ‘Rigtool Clamps’ for some time now and are very happy with the product.
Excellent tool for eliminating the drop sub hazards.Will Sellens, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST GEMINI
I am a drilling section leader on the West Aquarius drilling vessel. We recently purchased a sub clamp lift tool for use on our rig working in Canada.
We have had great success in both efficiency and safety in handling these subs. We have shared this experience across our fleet of Seadrill rigs and also our client, Exxon mobil has shared it through out their companyJosh Allen, Drilling Section Leader -- SEADRILL WEST AQUARIUS
The Rigtools Clamps make handling of our lifting subs safer and easier , no more wrapping slings round subs, quick and easy installation of the clamp either vertically or horizontally, no shackles bolts or safety pins to worry about, the subs are held securely and rotate easily so installing into collars etc made safer with little chance of nipped or crushed fingers when using chain tongs. We have a 5½” and 5” Rigtools clamp, two of the best additions to drill floor safety and efficiency we have had. Best Regards, Alistair -- MAERSK CONVINCER

I have seen your clamp used on several other rigs (most recently the ENSCO 100) in the North Sea and always try to convince clients of the safety but also efficiency merits of this piece of equipment, especially when installing/removing lifting subs in the horizontal position.Craig Beaton, Directional Driller -- SCHLUMBERGER OILFIELD UK PLC
