The grip (2) has an interior surface (3) in which is located at least one abrasive means (10) whereby relative rotation of the pipe with respect to the grip (2) causes the abrasive means to strip away an annular portion of the coating from the pipe. Preferably, the abrasive means comprises one or more files (4) that are embedded in the interior surface (3) of the grip (2) and the grip (2) comprises a pair of longitudinally extending jaws (6, 7,) with the file or files (4) extending linearly parallel to a longitudinal axis (9) of the grip (2).</p> |
