The tool (10) includes first and second pipe securing heads (12, 30), each having downward facing C-shaped frames (14, 16) and pipe securing clamps (16, 36) secured within the frames (14, 16) for selectively and detachably securing the pipe securing heads (12, 20) to sections of pipes (18, 36). A pivot rod (48) is pivotally secured between necks (20, 38) of the heads (12, 30), and handles (54, 56) are secured to the necks (20, 38). The handles (54, 56) and pivot rod (48) are configured so that, after securing the clamps (16, 36) within the frames (14, 16) to adjacent first and second pipes (18, 36), movement of the handles (54, 56) toward or away from each other causes the pipe securing heads (12, 30) to move the pipes (18, 36) to be joined together or separated.
