Abstract
A safety tool that removes thread protectors from casing and handles the casing while on a rig floor, for example, oil field casing, as the casing is being installed. It is a safety device because it allows the user to handle the moving end of a long length of casing and align that end with casing that it is being threaded to. Inserts are used to accommodate various sizes of pipe.
