Abstract

An apparatus for gripping a down hole tubular (20) includes a body element (50) defining a central cavity along a longitudinal axis. Disposed within the body element is at least one engaging member (58). In one aspect, the engaging member has an upper gripping element (64) and a lower gripping element (66). The gripping elements are designed to be movable with respect to one another. A rod (40) is pivotally attached to the engaging member (58). The rod moves the engaging member radially inward or outward with respect to the longitudinal axis of the central cavity. In one embodiment, a slewing device (30) is coupled to one end of the body element. The slewing device is moveable with respect to the body element (50) along the longitudinal axis.
