Claim 8:
9. An apparatus comprising:
a downhole tool operable to be conveyed downhole within a wellbore along a conveyance line that conveys a tool string within the wellbore, connect to the conveyance line, and cut the conveyance line, wherein the downhole tool comprises:
a body;
a cutting member operable to cut the conveyance line; and
a clamping member pivotably connected with the body, wherein the clamping member is operable to engage the conveyance line, and wherein, when the conveyance line is cut, tension in the conveyance line caused by the weight of the tool string imparts torque to the clamping member thereby causing the clamping member to compress the conveyance line to grip the conveyance line such that the conveyance line is inhibited from moving with respect to the clamping member thereby connecting the downhole tool to the conveyance line such that the downhole tool can be retrieved out of the wellbore via the conveyance line.
