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

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.

Geeked thought and have no clue how this shit works but prove me wrong So I’m guessing it’s the angle/ extra surface area causing more friction to keep it from sliding, and you release a bit of chain wrapped around the pipe to let it slide? If so why are there not machines guiding the chains? Loop of chain, two motors, inbetween is the pipe with the chain wrapped, machines move angle to tighten and spin, then angle back to loosen enough to slide over the pipe diameter, slide pipe up or down?
