A protector for the threads of a pipe-end, comprises a tubular member including a longitudinal portion and a curved end portion bent substantially 270 DEG , the curved end portion including an edge disposed a distance away from the longitudinal portion; and an elastomeric sleeve disposed co-axially and substantially co-extensively relative to the tubular member. The sleeve is adapted to engage the threads of the pipe-end. The sleeve includes an end portion disposed between the edge and the longitudinal portion, the edge clamping the sleeve end portion against the longitudinal portion, thereby securing the sleeve to the tubular member. The sleeve includes a radially extending annular flange disposed outside the curved end portion for engaging an end portion of the pipe-end.
