Available Tool Types
| Tool | Catches on | Size range |
|---|---|---|
| Overshot | Outside diameter | 0.50″ – 10.75″ |
| Tubing Spear | Inside diameter | 0.50″ – 10.75″ |
| Rope Spear | Wireline / rope | Application dependent |
| Grapples | Sized to fish | Extensive inventory |
The grapple size matters more than the overshot size. Send us the fish dimensions — or an impression block result — and we will match it.
Most fishing jobs fail at the catch, not the pull
An overshot that’s the right nominal size but carries the wrong grapple will slip, and every slip polishes the fish and makes the next attempt harder.
So we’d rather talk the fish through with you before dispatch than send the nearest size and hope. If you’re still working out what you’re up against, we carry impression blocks and downhole magnets too.
Mill Profiles
| Mill profile | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Convex | Frac plug and composite drillout |
| Concave | Milling over a fish or plug |
| Tapered | Restrictions and tight spots |
| Offset | Windows and eccentric work |
| Pilot | Guided milling into a known ID |
| String | Casing cleanup along a length |
The wrong profile grinds slowly, loads the motor and makes more cuttings than the cleanout can carry. On a long millout that repeats at every plug.
Fishing tools sized by phone, same day
Jars and mills are in the Thru Tubing Catalogue; overshots, spears and the rest of the fishing string are not. Send us the fish OD, or an impression block result, to check what is on the shelf.
Uh oh! Stuck in the hole?
Call us to discuss what’s downhole, the depth and what’s been tried. We’ll help line up the right fishing tools for the job.
