Abstract
A carrier for connecting a tool to the outside diameter of a tubular member. The carrier is a sleeve made up of first and second sleeve sections which encircle a tubular member to form a substantially complete sleeve. The sleeve is threaded on each end and there is a threaded collar received on each threaded end of the sleeve. Since the sleeve sections are formed by threading a tubular member at opposite ends, and then splitting the tubular member, when the sleeve sections are placed in surrounding relationship to the pipe, there will be at least one gap between the sleeve sections.
