What is an Indexing Tool?
The Indexing Tool is used to orientate a desired tool into a specific rotational position. It ensures that the tool is aligned correctly for its intended function. To operate the tool, simply attach the Indexing Tool to the tool string, lower the tool string into the well bore to the desired depth. Function the tool by picking it up and setting it back down repeatedly until the desired effect is achieved. The Indexing swivel will rotate 30° each time the tool string is picked up and set down. This rotation is particularly useful when trying to retrieve debris that has fallen beside downhole equipment during fishing operations.
