Make a Safe Decision... Choose the Right Tool!

Let’s say you ask your crew to use the handle of a screw driver to drive in a nail. How much longer will it take you to build a house? How much is the injury risk increased?

You get it. You’re intelligent. A screw driver is /was not designed to drive nails. That is what hammers are made for. A hammer will do the job more safely and efficiently. In the same breath, why use a hammer to build an entire house when you could be using a nail gun?

Sure the hammer will complete the job but at what cost? Time… Safety? Even using the wrong hammer can affect the speed and safety of completing the task. (Don’t want to use a 2 ounce hammer for framing when there is a 16 ounce available). 

When something as little as difference in weight can affect the speed and safety of completing the task. One can clearly see why using the proper tool for the job is paramount. 

The same is true when running casing. Using hand tools to remove thread protectors is like using a screw driver or a small hammer to build a house. This is the exact reason we designed the TyCal ExCal-1, as the safest, most efficient tool for removing thread protectors. 

To “hammer” the point home, imagine for a moment that the ExCal-1 is a combination “seat belt and airbag.” When preparing for a drive of any length, we ensure that our family is secured and safe. Use of the ExCal-1 assures the safest work experience for your crew, when removing thread protectors and joining pipe. 

YOU KNOW the potential cost of even one pipe with damaged threads. Even more critical, you KNOW the personal cost to the workers and their families, when just one serious injury occurs. It can be devastating. Throw-in the cost to your firm. 

There is no more “getting by”. There is only the safest, most efficient way for your crew and company.
