TUBING DRIFTS
Tubing drifts are tools used to verify the internal diameter (ID) of tubing or other cylindrical components installed during tubing completion. This is done by pulling a precisely machined drift - sometimes referred to as a "rabbit" - through the tubing to confirm unobstructed passage.
Product Code: 163
Applications
Confirming nipple bore clearance before running lock mandrels or plugs that must pass through restrictions above the target setting depth.
Verifying subsurface safety valve bore dimensions before running flow controls that must transit the valve's bore
Post-remediation confirmation that a tubing bore has been returned to minimum drift specification after swaging or cleaning operations
Key Benefits
Go/no-go drift confirmation is faster and simpler than a full gauge cutter run when the bore condition is already known.
Manufactured to exact minimum drift dimensions — provides definitive pass/fail bore clearance confirmation
Available in all standard nipple bore and completion tool dimensions

Drift Tool Types
Rebco FD Drift is a 15" fluted bar stock drift with threaded Pin-to-Box connections and a fishing neck sized appropriately to the tool's nominal OD.
Rebco FTD Drift is similar in design to the FD, this tool includes a 12" Teflon® fluted sleeve to reduce the risk of scarring or damaging coated tubing IDs. It also features threaded Pin-to-Box connections and a proper fishing neck.
Rebco TA Drift is a 12" tubular drift with threaded Pin-to-Box connections and a fishing neck engineered for standard tubing applications.
