Breakout tongs are robust, mechanical tools used primarily in the oil and gas industry, as well as in heavy construction, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of pipes, joints, and tubing. They are designed to provide high torque to break or tighten connections, especially in environments where high-pressure systems and heavy-duty pipes are involved. Breakout tongs consist of a set of gripping jaws that can securely hold the pipe or tubing, allowing operators to apply controlled force when loosening or tightening threaded connections. These tools are crucial for operations such as pipe maintenance, pipe handling, and assembling drilling rigs where precise and safe manipulation of pipe connections is essential.

Breakout tongs are engineered for both durability and safety, providing the necessary grip to manage large-diameter pipes with ease. They are typically used in situations where manual labor would be inefficient or unsafe, especially when dealing with heavy or tightly secured joints. Available in various sizes and configurations to suit different pipe diameters and thread types, breakout tongs ensure that heavy equipment operators can perform maintenance tasks quickly and efficiently. The ability to deliver consistent torque while minimizing damage to the threads is key to maintaining the integrity of critical connections, extending the lifespan of equipment, and reducing the risk of accidents during operation.
