• Testimonial from a Rig Manager 
• "A Company Man's Perspective" 
• “After being around the IR3080 for many years in both the management role and the roughneck, it was was always a hot topic with the company man. Why does it take so long to trip pipe? "Get that thing fixed or get a new one" That was the story of my life while using the IR3080 with the factory spinner. In 2017 I was Rig Managing on the Permian Basin for Trinidad drilling and let me tell you the iron roughneck was a nightmare. You would have to break the connection for times before the spinners would be strong enough to spin it out. The operator was furious, the next step was to drop the rig over trip times. Then on Rig move one day Paul showed up with the OPI single motor spinner. He rigged it up and it was like a new machine, trip times cut by every bit of 40%. The operator was thrilled. We ran without issues with the spinners from that day forward, very simple maintenance with superb dependability. I have since then switched careers and I am now on the other side of the spectacle as the company man and low and behold I get an Ensign rig with the IR3080. The first and only well I was on with the rig it was the main reason we released the rig and picked up a new rig. It took 72 hours to lay down 22,000 foot of 5" 4.5IF drill pipe. What a joke that is a 14 hour job. To sum it all up the single motor spinner from OPI will change your life as far as IR3080 roughnecks go. Paul will rig it up and stand behind it without fail and the company man and the rig manager will have to find a new topic to discuss every single day. Take it from experience it will pay for itself in one job guaranteed.”​
