Abstract
A clamp for a downhole tool includes a sleeve having an axis and sleeve bodies. The sleeve bodies are coupled together on a first side of the clamp. Fasteners are used to mechanically lock the sleeve bodies together on a second side of the clamp to surround and clamp onto an exterior of a drill string having pipes. The pipes are coupled together at their coupled connections. In addition, recesses are formed in an exterior of each sleeve body. Inserts are mounted in the recesses to provide low friction exterior surfaces for the clamp.
