3 Introduction
The Spinmaster is a new generation drill pipe spinner from
that great tradition of its father the Spinnerhawk. The Spinmaster
has been engineered to give much more than its predecessor in
performance and reliability.
SAFETY
The Spinmaster provides a fast, safe and efficient method of
spin-up or spin-out, eliminating costly and dangerous accidents
associated with the use of spinning chains.The Spinmaster’s
unique chain gripping system transmits more torque without
slipping than any competitive spinner, regardless of pipe size.
TIME AND LABOR SAVINGS
Designed to work on the tube rather than the tool joint, the
position of the Spinmaster provides clearance to place the back-
up tong while spinning, thus saving rig time. The Spinmaster is
the lightest and smallest drill pipe spinner on the market today.
This makes the Spinmaster easier to work with and helps reduce
crew fatigue. Drillers and operators of the Spinmaster work more
efficiently and suffer less fatigue on long round trips; less work
and faster trips. Relatively inexperienced personnel can be
utilized for a faster trip with the Spinmaster and can work more
efficiently than would be possible using a spinning chain.
