Selecting the perfect swivel
Any swivel is frequently subjected to overloads and shock loads unless a much larger swivel is used than is normally required. Common causes of overloads: using too long and too heavy strings of drill pipe and pulling on stuck pipe. Shock loads result when the pipe is lifted suddenly. Severe shock loads are imposed when spudding gumbo off the bit. The worst shocks are delivered by rotary jars when used for loosening stuck drill pipe. Before deciding on the type and size of swivel to purchase, consideration should be given to overloads,shock loads and bearings.
When referring to the load capacity tables, it is best to select the next larger swivel than is indicated in the tabulation. This will provide some insurance against damage resulting from overloads, shock loads and increases in speed of rotation. Much too frequently, a swivel is purchased to drill certain depths. The operator may try to drill deeper than anticipated. The swivel is overloaded as a result. It is false economy of the worst sort to use a swivel that is too small for the job. Excessive cost of upkeep, plus shutdown time of the rig, will soon amount to the added cost of a larger swivel.

We swear by our swivels.
At King Oil Tools, our team of seasoned professionals has the experience and deep expertise to provide product-specific inventory, logistics, and troubleshooting solutions.
Like any other piece of equipment, power swivels should be kept in good repair. It is our longstanding policy to give first attention to repair orders, and repair replacement parts are invariably, shipped out the same day an order is received. When a King swivel needs repairs, other than packing, it should be returned to us as soon as possible. We can usually repair it more economically than anyone else because we are able to reclaim many expensive parts that would otherwise be discarded. The greatest advantage in returning your King swivel to us for repair is the fact that when it is a factory job, the owner may feel assured that the various parts fit correctly and that adjustments are properly made.
