Abstract

A fluid operated overshot with an outer metal mandrel internally supports a resilient internal sleeve. The sleeve telescopes over a fish to grip the fish on expanding radially inwardly. This expansion is fluid powered by applying a force to the inner sleeve to expand inwardly from a piston which compresses the sleeve, or form surrounding the inner sleeve in a concentric fluid receiving cavity.
