DEF

Outil légèrement conique à filetage très fin, destiné au repêchage d'éléments tubulaires par prise sur leur paroi interne.

CONT

Le repêchage du poisson se fait avec différents outils suivant que l'on peut ou non le coiffer facilement. Ce sont: - l'overshot et la cloche taraudée (outils femelles), - le harpon et le taraud (outils mâles). [...] La cloche et le taraud [...] sont tout simplement constitués par un cône très allongé (femelle pour la cloche, mâle pour le taraud), en acier extrêmement dur, comportant des filets triangulaires très minces et à pas très faible.
