• a slip housing connected to the first end of the body,
• slip means positioned in the slip housing and engagable with the first end of the body and positioned to engage and grip the outside of the coiled tubing on movement of the slip housing and the first end of the body together for actuation of the slips,
• actuating means for moving the slip housing and the first end of the body together for actuation of the slips,
• said tubular body including a packing element positioned to engage the exterior of the coiled tubing, said packing element spaced out of contact with the slip means, and
