ABSTRACT:
A tool for rotating a rod is provided which is formed of three sleeves. A first sleeve has an internal opening size to receive the rod and has an outwardly flared, slitted end which is placed over the rod. A second sleeve slips on to the first sleeve and engages against the flared end. A third sleeve slips over the first sleeve and engages against the second sleeve and is locked axially to the first sleeve. The third sleeve carries longitudinally extendable members which can be used to press against the second sleeve pushing it along the flared portion of the first sleeve to collapse the end of the first sleeve engaging the rod to increase the gripping force of the first sleeve with the rod. The first sleeve has an external contour for receiving a torque applying device, such as a wrench, so that the first sleeve can be rotated, thus rotating the rod.
