Conduit alignment tool with wings

An alignment tool for aligning first and second conduit sections at a connection colinearly along a longitudinal axis, wherein the first conduit section has a bell end at the connection and the second conduit section has a narrow end at the connection, and wherein the bell end has a bell end inner diameter and a bell end outer diameter, the tool comprising:

• a collar portion sized to circumscribe the bell end outer diameter, the collar portion having a collar inner surface;
• a funnel portion attached to the collar portion, the funnel portion having a diameter that increases in a longitudinal direction away from the collar portion, wherein the funnel portion has a funnel inner surface and longitudinal ridges extending radially inward toward the longitudinal axis from the funnel inner surface;
• a step on one of the collar and funnel inner surfaces, the step having a funnel portion side and a collar portion side, wherein an inner diameter of the funnel portion side of the step is equal to the bell end inner diameter;
• and
• key and keyway wings extending laterally from the collar portion, wherein the keyway wing includes a keyway and the key wing includes a key.
