Corkfather, will yellow jacket be operating in S.LA, N. LA or E. Texas. I may be interested in equipment they have for sale across the board on the fishing/rental side.


I know NWLA and ETX are done, as is most of STX. I didn't even know they were in SLA.

I live in ETX if you need someone to help you out when you can't drive all the way out there too look at or pick up equipment, etc. I can do anything you need really.

Shoot me an email @gmail.

Yellow jacket didn't last long in NLA ETX market if that's true they're shutting the doors. They just picked up some salesmen I've dealt with other places and really expanded their wireline presence in the area.

They're not shutting down everything, but I know they're getting rid of their mixing plant division and quite a few others.

I have a friend that used to work there, I think he was going to ask.

It was really late this afternoon when I found out we needed it, so I plan on hitting the phones early.

Yea, hopefully I'm wrong, but indicators that I've seen in the last month tell a flat to declining story for the next 12 months.



Same information I'm receiving from my company. But this was anticipated to happen way back in Q1.

Actually, looking here was a great choice. In process of negotiating with someone now.

I need the testing equipment as well.

May be interested in the wrench @ some point though. It's magnetic so I'm guessing you don't measure in ps, what size hydraulic would it compare to?

Yes it's magnetic hands free Cork. I have every size that a backup wrench would have.

My material guy always rents Hytorc. There are plenty of places you can rent from that already come calibrated. Check your local heavy equipment rental companies. If not they could probably point you to somewhere that has it available
