      They are used for oilfield drilling operations and widely applied in making up and breaking out of drill pipes. They are designed to be open-throat with high mobility to escape from the drill pipes freely.  A drill pipe power tong consists of a spinning tong and a torque tong.  It substitutes a cathead, suspension tong and spinning rope in making up and breaking out.
