Abstract

A side wall clamp is disclosed for use in conjunction with downhole tools, the clamp having a fail-safe mechanism which permits unclamping of the tool from the bore hole wall even if the clamp actuator means is inoperative, by exerting upward pull on the wire line or drill string to which the tool is attached.
