The apparatus is manipulatable to rotate the lower tubing section without rotating the upper tubing section and comprises first and second housings, one of the housings and the lower tubing section being rotatable relative to the other of the housings. Actuator means are insertable within at least one of the housings for applying rotation to one of the housings. Co-engaging means are provided on the actuator means and one of the housings for applying rotational force to one of the housings and the lower tubing section to rotate the one housing and the lower tubing section without rotating the other of the housings and the upper tubing section.
