Abstract
A well bore tool with a torsional resistant slip mechanism for resisting axial and torsional forces comprising a mandrel, a plurality of slips disposed about the circumference of the mandrel. The slips include a plurality of inserts oriented to resist axial forces and torsional forces. The tool also comprises a setting means adjacent each to slip for radially expanding and setting said slips.
