A perimetrically acting collet (10) which includes a body and at least one mating profile (12) opening in the body. At least one resilient member (32,34,36) is located adjacent the at least one lug (42) opening and a profi le in the body is biased perimetrically by the at least one resilient member. Another collet has at least one profile therein, the profile acting perimetrically of a cross-sectional shape of the collet. A method for engagi ng a mating profile downhole approaching the mating profile with a perimetrical ly acting collet, perimetrically deflecting the collet and perimetrically engaging the mating profile.
