​@@tj54441I have no clue why on most of these videos people defend throwing chain in 2024. There are far safer options and people have drank the employer-sponsored Kool-Aid that chain is manly and superior.

[@wrinkleiner8455]

I highly fucking doubt that buddy, what’s a full joint, what is running tubing down the casing, do you even know what the casing is? I wish my buddy dave saw this, he’s a driller(a lead supervisor for rig crews) he would literally tear you a new one.

[@wrinkleiner8455]

I work in the oilfield, I’m not a roughneck tho, even im not stupid enough to say I could be a drill supervisor. And I barely passed highschool. (Roughnecking is the job title of the guys in the video)

[@grantquinones]

​@wrinkleiner8455 where is the sarcasm police when you need them

[@adamdigiuseppe6029]

My old rig used to use winch blankets to prevent whipping and incase you drop the chain it just falls straight down to the floor after one of my co workers had his nose torn off it was a very smart idea and it should be encouraged more often to find ways to make work safe at the end of the day we all want to go Home

[@rickhatesmisleadia7101]

I worked the rigs in the late 70's and again in early 2000. Quite a difference from back then to 2003 on new rigs. They don't use a spinning chain any more. Top drives, iron roughnecks and excavators do a lot of work we use to do by hand! I spun chain till my arm felt like it was going to fall off...lol It was the most dangerous thing to do on any rig so Im glad top drives replaced them. Oh and these guys both pulled out too much chain. And NEVER let that tail go or someone's gonna get a serious whip in the face or a hand gets snagged and fingers get ripped off! Been there felt the braided rope used for a tail on the chain slap me in the face and had the red welt across my cheek for the next week! lol

[@boshboshbosh1]

This job looks like a nightmare for safety lol, I've always had an "awareness" of spinning metal shit 😂

[@robyarby8129]

and a lot of these videos guys are shirtless with no protection and a cigarette in their mouth. i know how i get, start day off with safety gear on but by the end of the day zero safety protocols are being followed (well common sense, but not OSHA dumb stuff)

[@TomTomTomTom538]

When I first saw these videos I couldn't believe how dangerous this is. And thought there has to be a safer way to do this. So I'm not surprised it's changed now

[@jacobdesousa]

I hope you win the lottery bro women nowadays probably make like 1000x times what anyone on a rig makes and it's so upsetting to me but shoutout to you thanks for your hard work 🔥

[@rickhatesmisleadia7101]

Meanwhile young guys are starting out in construction at $18 or less and working in shitty conditions while trying to start a family! Some women are horribly over paid and dont earn the money they take home!@@jacobdesousa

[@Bookworm-hu7vq]

Gotta love how there is absolutely nobody trying to teach anything, the rampant illiteracy and flat out refusal to teach/explain anything made me hate the oilfield, if it wasn't for family that had experience to pass on i wouldn't have made it...

[@GreggWalken-xd3qv]

I was fortunate enuf to work with men who taught but don't screw up, you caught hell. Did you notice all the extra chain around his feet and no soft tail on spinning chain? Pusher or driller is just as green as that hand.

[@littlejackalo5326]

I'm sure he's been taught. It takes 1 time to be taught by someone else, then you just have to do it. You probably wanted someone to hold your hand.

[@ameunier41]

​@@GreggWalken-xd3qvWhat's a soft tails? You add a rag at the end of the chains to reduce the whip?

[@GreggWalken-xd3qv]

@@ameunier41 We braided about a 8" piece of hemp rope into the last link of the spinning chain giving it a soft tail. Same result l would guess as using a rag but with the rope you could make it fairly thick lasting a month

[@kennyperkins1843]

I know a few like that..I taught my guys all I could let my Derrick hand run the rig and id go latch pipe if we had time good ol work over rigs..there isn't much to learn Rough necking really

That after is about two blinks away from having your hand caught in the chain and you twisted around it like a twizzler.

[@GreggWalken-xd3qv]

Someone needs to show him you don't feed with your right hand, you control it with your hand around the pipe and chain. Besides not having a rope tail on the chain he had plenty of chain around his feet to be way dangerous. Driller is a worm l would think.

I worked with drillers for many years.Guys missing fingers maybe a foot very common.

[@wrinkleiner8455]

In America I bet, Canada actually has safety standards. But I won’t start the America vs. Canada beef. All I know is that all the drillers and roughnecks I’ve met up here have all of their hands and feet and most of their fingers. We also do stuff A LOT differently, more heavy machinery instead of physical labour, higher inspection standards etc.

[@wrinkleiner8455]

Like we don’t even have chain hands we have doubles and sometimes triples then they run all their tubing and joints up with a cinch and shove it down the hole basically, and the cinch does all the fastening and tightening (With minimal assistance from the roughnecks.) pretty cool system actually if you’ve ever seen it in action.
