Abstract: A tool for rotating an object includes an assembly comprising an inner ring and an outer ring wherein each of the rings include multiple components which can be moved relative to one another between a first condition which accommodates the positioning of the assembly about the object to be rotated and a second condition at which the multiple components of each of the rings form the annular shape of the inner or outer ring to which the multiple components correspond. When the rings are arranged in the second condition, the inner ring is capable of rotating relative to and within a radial plane of the outer ring. In addition, a gear arrangement is connected to the assembly for transferring rotational forces applied from a power tool to the inner ring so that rotation of the inner ring relative to the outer ring effects the rotation of the object desired to be rotated.
