A power tong unit is shown which is operable as a closed head or open head unit. The jaws of the tong unit are rotatable to an extended pipe gripping position from either of opposite directions to make-up or break-out pipe from a single retracted position. An improved jaw for use in the tong unit has contoured gripping surfaces for gripping a wider variety of pipe diameters.
