Miscellaneous Fishing Tools
This article describes the following fishing tools: Magnets, Lead Impression Blocks, Rope Spears, Taper Taps and Die Collars.
Magnets
The following guidelines should be used when using magnets:
 The force of some magnets decreases with the age of the magnet. For this reason, when the magnet is not in use, the cover plate on the face shall be installed.
 The pull of the magnet shall be checked prior to running it in the hole.
 If a circulating magnet is not available, an open circulating sub or pin hole sub shall be placed above the magnet.
Lead Impression Blocks
The following guidelines should be used when using lead impression blocks:
 A lead impression block may be used if additional information regarding the top of the fish is needed.
 When the tool has reached a point just above the fish, circulation shall be started to clear the top of the fish before lowering the tool down to tag the top of the fish.
 Weight shall be applied as required and the tool is brought back to the surface where the impression can be examined and interpreted.
 A circulation sub or pin hole sub in the open position shall be installed above the lead impression block.
