A mechanical casing collar locator is disclosed. The casing collar locator has an outermost, locator leaf spring cage, and one or more radially stacked reinforcement leaf spring cages. Each leaf spring cage has a plurality of flexible leaf spring beam members, each having a locator dog thereon for engage collar recesses, or other recesses, in the wellbore casing. The leaf spring beam members of the reinforcement leaf spring cages radially support the leaf spring beam members and the locator dogs of the locator leaf spring cage for providing enhanced radially outward spring force.
