ABSTRACT:
In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a pipe alignment tool includes upper and lower, vertically aligned clamp assemblies that can be opened and closed in order to encircle and grasp adjacent threaded end sections of well pipe to bring them into precise vertical alignment. The upper clamp assembly can be lowered toward the lower clamp assembly while the upper pipe section is rotated in order to at least partially make up the threaded connection.
