⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - Senior Driller, Gulf Drilling Co.
"We’ve been using the Pro Model of the API EUE XT57 thread protectors on our deepwater rigs since February 2025, and I can confidently say they’ve reduced thread damage incidents by over 70%. The chemical-resistant EPDM coating is a game-changer when dealing with aggressive drilling fluids. Installation is fast, and they stay secure even during high-vibration operations. Worth every penny for offshore applications."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Emily Tran - Home Workshop Enthusiast
"I bought the Base Model for protecting spare plumbing pipes in my garage. I was surprised at how sturdy yet lightweight (only 1.5kg!) these are. The ribbed elastomer design fits snugly and keeps threads clean and scratch-free. Not what I expected for a product marketed toward oilfields — but it works perfectly for light-duty home use too. Only docked one star because custom sizing takes longer to ship."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carlos Mendez - Operations Manager, Northern Minerals Inc.
"Harsh northern winters and constant equipment movement used to wreck our drill pipe threads. Since switching to the Advanced Model in January 2025, we’ve seen zero thread failures during transport or storage. The -30°C to 120°C temperature range handles Arctic cold and engine bay heat without cracking. Plus, the 1-year warranty gave us confidence — and the product delivered. Will be ordering in bulk for all active sites."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fatima Al-Rashid - Offshore Maintenance Technician
"On a North Sea rig, reliability is non-negotiable. These steel-reinforced hybrid protectors have held up through months of salt spray, constant vibration, and rough handling. The 30% elongation flexibility (Pro Model) absorbs stress that used to cause micro-cracks in older plastic versions. Also appreciate the API EUE compliance — passes every safety audit with flying colors."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Derek Simmons - Plant Maintenance Lead, PetroChem Solutions
"We run a high-cycle drilling simulation setup, so our pipes go on and off dozens of times a week. After testing several brands, we landed on the Base Model due to its 10,000-cycle durability rating. Now six months in (purchase: October 2024), wear is minimal. They’re easy to clean with mild detergent, just as the manual says. Only downside? The ribbed surface collects grime in dirty environments — a quick wipe fixes it, though."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months

Linda Cho - OCTG Equipment Consultant, 15+ Years in Oil & Gas
"The API EUE XT57 line stands out for its hybrid material innovation. While many protectors choose between rigidity and flexibility, this series strikes the ideal balance. The integration of a steel core with elastomer layers provides structural integrity without sacrificing shock absorption — critical in modern high-pressure drilling. For operators in extreme climates or corrosive environments, the Pro Model’s EPDM and 1,200 N load capacity are unmatched in the current market."
Robert Hayes - Senior Maintenance Engineer, Energy Infrastructure Group
"Having audited thread protection systems across 30+ drilling sites, I recommend the Advanced and Pro Models for any operation where downtime is costly. The 25–30mm movement tolerance significantly reduces fatigue on threaded connections. Pair that with API compliance and a 1- to 2-year warranty, and you’ve got a low-risk, high-return investment in equipment longevity."
