Abstract
A double ended socket has a tapered spline bore in each end thereof. A square hole at a midpoint internal flange provides means for attaching the socket to an impact wrench for removing a thread protector from a pin of a sucker rod. A gripping socket has three floating jaws within a housing to engage coupling of a sucker rod. With an impact wrench, the gripping socket readily removes a coupling from a sucker rod pin. The two tools are used to inspect, clean, and lubricate sucker rods, and to maintain the lubricated pins clean until the rods are run in a well.
