Roughneck Ingenuity


I've been doing some set up work for a deep well drilling contractor. We ran out of contact blocks for the start-stop motor seal ins. Guess they couldn't wait! The washer when turned straight out holds his start button in. I thought it was clever. Compliments of "Tool Pusher Toad" from Pollister Drilling Corp.

He may need the string back because his pants keep falling down.

Re: Roughneck Ingenuity


Perhaps a toggle switch could've done the same job?
Probably cost more than a rope and a washer though, lol

These boys are in the middle of the woods drilling for oil. No time for parts shopping. Like Davis said, "Git-R-Done!"
