ABSTRACT:
A tool for handling an elongated, tubular drill pipe has an elongated body between a first and second end for engaging and holding a first and second end of the drill pipe. The engagement ends of the tool are spaced apart a distance slightly less than the length of the drill pipe. The engagement ends are capable of being elastically spread apart when the drill pipe is being engaged, and thereafter the elastic spreading is released to cause the tool to remain in engagement with the drill pipe during the handling thereof.
