Coarse Tong Die 1/2″ x 1-1/4″ x 5-7/8″ | BJ Type B & DB Compatible
The 1/2″ x 1-1/4″ x 5-7/8″ Coarse Tong Die is an extra-long, aggressive gripping insert designed for high-torque drilling and well-servicing operations. Engineered for BJ Type B and DB manual tongs, this die features deep-etched coarse teeth that bite through surface contaminants like heavy mud and scale, ensuring a fail-safe grip during critical make-up and break-out sequences.
Description
Comprehensive Technical Data
Aggressive Grip Engineering
In the demanding world of drilling, a “skating” die can lead to catastrophic slippage. Our Coarse series is built to prevent this:
Self-Cleaning Tooth Design: The wide, deep valleys between the teeth allow drilling fluids and debris to shed instantly, maintaining direct steel-to-steel contact.
Maximum Surface Engagement: The 5-7/8″ length provides a massive contact area, distributing high torque loads across a wider section of the tubular to prevent “teeth bite” damage or pipe deformation.
Dual-Property Metallurgy: Forged from premium alloy steel and case-hardened to 58-62 HRC. This creates a razor-sharp biting edge supported by a shock-resistant core that survives the impact of hydraulic power tongs.

Equipment Compatibility
Manual Tongs: BJ Type B and DB (standard 1-1/4″ slot).
Power Casing Tongs: Compatible with BJ, Lamb, and various high-torque hydraulic power tongs.
Specialized Rig Tools: Direct fit for Top Drive Torque Wrenches and Foley Manual Tongs.
Key Performance Advantages
Consistent Torque Transfer: Designed to seat perfectly in the tong head, eliminating “die roll” or vibration during rotation.
Extended Wear Life: The hardened coarse teeth resist rounding off, significantly outperforming standard dies in high-frequency operations.
Rig Floor Safety: Superior gripping power reduces the risk of accidental pipe slippage, protecting both your crew and your tubular assets.
Corrosion Protection: Every die is treated with a specialized coating to resist rust during storage on land rigs or offshore platforms.
