Roughneck Stabbing Guides

Make up threaded connections with ease and proper protection

MSI’s roughneck stabbing guides are composed of steel inner cores and urethane outer shells, complete with handles for guidance and multiple closure types for a variance of needs. These stabbing guides are used during the makeup of a pipe string, connecting the pin and box threads to prevent face damage and/or connection failure. Functioning as a funnelled guide for the pin connection, each stabbing guide is molded to fit the specific dimensions of your thread profile, ensuring you have proper guidance for connecting pipe.

Our roughneck stabbing guides are offered in both heavy-duty and standard-duty options to serve your specific operational needs.
