- The primary function of a chain tong tool is to provide a strong grip on cylindrical objects, typically pipes, to either tighten (make up) or loosen (break out) threaded connections. This is crucial in various industries, especially oil and gas, where threaded connections play a vital role in assembling and disassembling components. They consist of a chain assembly that wraps around the cylindrical object and a set of jaws that engage with the chain to create a secure grip. The jaws are designed to grip the cylindrical object tightly while allowing rotational movement. They come in both manual and powered versions. Manual chain tongs are operated by hand, often using a ratcheting mechanism.
