Now Operating a Dedicated Repair & Re-Certification Facility

This strategic expansion allows us to improve efficiency, reduce turnaround times, and increase throughput - getting your equipment back in service faster. With a team focused solely on repair and certification, customers benefit from quicker response times, consistent quality, and a streamlined service experience from start to finish.
At Keystone Energy Tools, we are fully equipped with the tools, technology, and experienced technicians required to perform all levels of re-certification and repair on tubular handling equipment. Our processes follow relevant API guidelines, ensuring your equipment meets the highest industry standards.
What Is Tubular Equipment Re-Certification?
Tubular equipment re-certification is the process of inspecting, repairing, and re-qualifying drilling and production tools - elevators, slips, bails, and related tubular handling equipment - to current API standards. It confirms the tool is safe, compliant, and fit for service before it goes back into operation. Re-certification is typically far less expensive than buying new and returns equipment to full rated capacity with complete documentation.
What Does the Re-Certification Process Include?
Our service center capabilities exceed industry norms, driven by the strict requirements of major service companies and the specialized demands of tubular handling equipment.
With extensive experience across all major OEM manufacturers' equipment, every project is executed with the highest level of professionalism and attention to detail.
Our re-certification services include:
- Equipment inspection
- Disassembly
- Repair
- Parts and component remanufacturing
- Documentation data book included
We re-certify and repair a wide range of tools, including:
- Bowls and Spiders
- Drill Pipe, Drill Collar, Tubing, and Casing Elevators

Why Re-Certify and Repair Your Equipment?
What Does the Process Include offer several key advantages:
- Improve your bottom line by extending equipment lifecycle
- Reduce capital expenditures by avoiding new purchases

- Increase uptime and operational efficiency
What Documentation Do I Receive After Re-Certification?
