A slip coupling tool having an interior surface sized for receiving a pipe. The coupling tool includes a semi-annular collar sized to engage an exterior surface of the pipe. The collar extends to a rearward end face sized and shaped for aligning with an end of the slip coupling when the collar receives the pipe and the inner surface of the collar engages an exterior surface of the pipe. The slip coupling tool includes a striking plate extending outward from the collar. The striking plate has an impact surface spaced from the collar for impacting the coupling tool to drive the slip coupling into position along the pipe. The slip coupling tool includes a handle extending outward from the collar for manipulating the tool into position while impacting the impact surface of the striking plate to drive the slip coupling into position along the pipe.
