Oilfield Oil & Gas Keychain Gifts

Oilfield and gas tricone drill bit keychains have been around since the late 1930’s and have evolved a great deal. The original oil and gas keychain gifts were modeled after a bicone oil well drill bit. These miniature oilfield drill bits were hand machined from brass and then nickel and gold plated. Then in later years with the introduction of the tricone bit to the oil and gas drilling industries the oilfield keychain replicas were adapted to the new tricone version also.

Now some 70 years later it is possible to find many different types and styles of oilfield drill bit keychains. Many different styles of drill bits have now been introduced over the years to the drilling industry and it is possible the find keychain replicas of drill bits such as DTH hammer bits, PDC bits, and retrac bits. In addition to drill bits some companies even offer keychains modeled after oilfield elevators, blowout preventers, and even workover service rigs.

These oilfield keychains make wonderful oil and gas gifts for retirement, safety awards and promotional items that are certain to please everybody in the oil and gas industry from the roughneck all they way to oilfield executives. Prices vary from $8 for the cast pewter models all the way up to $70 for the hand-machined models. Many of the cast pewter models are even available gold plated. It is also possible to find some PDC drill bit keychains where diamonds can be inserted into the bit to represent the drilling teeth of the bit. Many options also exist for engraving company logos onto these miniature gold drill bits or “dog tags” which in turn would make great gifts for customers or giveaways at your favorite oilfield drilling convention. Imagine the impression you can make with your customers, employees or loved family member by giving them a truly unique offshore oilfield gifts keepsake such as a beautiful high detail oilfield pendant keychain.

Be certain to do some research before you purchase these items because the quality and detail of theses oilfield jewelry products vary greatly on the market today. The highest quality tricone bit keychains will have the cones actually pressed onto a bearing type system just like a real oilfield bit. The cones will be tight as the turn with no gap between the backside of the cone and the bit body. You will find that there are many low quality imported tricone keychains on the market that have a pin going through the nose of the cone which holds it to the body. This system causes a large gap behind the cone and makes it very loose. Also look for exacting details such as grease caps to be machined into the bit body and a true thread that tapers like an API oilfield thread does. Another feature to look for are jets drilled into the bit body. The best quality tricone drill bits will also have a different tooth pattern on each cone just like real oil and gas drill bit do. To the average person these details may not seem like a big deal, but they mean a lot to the person receiving the gift who works with this type of oilfield equipment every day.
