In the Oil and Gas Industry, "Slips" are classified as equipment used for running tubulars such as drill pipe, drill collar, or casing.
Keep reading to see why Keystone's Slips are leading the industry when it comes to quality and dependability.
What Separates Keystone's Slips from the rest of the Industry?
We understand the critical requirements of the oil and gas industry and the need for high-quality tools and parts. Our equipment is manufactured from quality materials acquired from trusted vendors and are designed and precision-machined to meet and exceed API standards.
The slips are machined, by strict quality control procedures, for use in API Standard Bowls.
Also, with the API monogram stamped on every single slip, you can be sure you are getting high-grade equipment at a competitive price, made in the USA!
