Detailed Description

The Alligator Grab is a wireline fishing tool used to catch and retrieve loose or broken objects from inside an oil or gas wellbore. It has spring-loaded, serrated jaws that can be adjusted before use to set the right amount of grip for the object being retrieved. When downward force is applied, a pin shears, allowing the jaws to close and hold the object securely.

This tool is needed when small or hard-to-reach objects, often called “fish,” are stuck or floating in the wellbore. Unlike other retrieval tools, the Alligator Grab provides a controlled grip that can be adjusted to the size and type of object, reducing the risk of pushing it further down or damaging the well. It is not meant for heavy jarring once it has gripped an object, so it is used for careful and precise recovery.

The Alligator Grab comes in various sizes, with a maximum outside diameter of 1.25 to 3.50 inches, a fishing neck O.D. of 1.187 to 2.313 inches, and top connections ranging from 15/16-10 UN to 1-9/16-10 UN. It includes fishing necks and pin threads compatible with standard wireline equipment.

What makes this type of Alligator Grab unique is its ability to retrieve objects in tight or restricted wellbore spaces. Its adjustable jaws and compact size allow it to securely grip objects that other tools might not reach, making it especially valuable for precise and reliable recovery operations.
