the grapples 54 may similarly be forced radially outward to engage with the inner diameter 60 of the tubular 38 in the illustrated embodiment the actuator 50 is a hydraulic actuator however in other embodiments the actuator 50 may be a mechanical actuator electromechanical actuator pneumatic actuator or other type of actuator the illustrated actuator 50 includes a hydraulic cylinder 62 coupled to the mandrel 52 and a piston 64 disposed within the hydraulic cylinder 62 and about the mandrel 52 the piston 64 is coupled to a piston sleeve 66 that extends around an outer diameter 68 of the mandrel 52 additionally the piston sleeve 66 extends out of the hydraulic cylinder 62 at a base 70 of the hydraulic cylinder 62 and couples to the grapples 54 disposed about the mandrel 52 as indicated by juncture 72 to actuate the actuator 50 e g the piston 64 in the illustrated embodiment a hydraulic fluid e g oil is pumped into a piston chamber 74 of the actuator 50 from a hydraulic fluid source 76 for example after the mandrel 52 and the grapples 54 are inserted into the tubular 38 hydraulic fluid may be pumped into the piston chamber 74 on a first side 78 of the piston 64 through a first port 80 as the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the piston chamber 74 on the first side 78 of the piston 64 pressure on the first side 78 builds thereby forcing the piston 64 and the piston sleeve 66 downward i e in the direction 56.
