When making up corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) pipes,
strap wrenches should be used after stabbing to make the pin

thread start has been achieved.
Connection Make-up
Power tongs are required. Pipe wrenches, rig tongs or
spinning chain make-up are not recommended. A back-up
tong may
be required until sufficient string weight is developed to
prevent the joint from turning in the slips. Set the power tong
