One inventive aspect of the device comprises: a collet blocking plug axially insertable into and removable from a receiver end of the drill pipe and at least one collet. The collet is configured to be interlocked with the drill pipe in a locking position and be released from the drill pipe in a release position. The collet is axially displaceable from the collet blocking plug between the locking position and the release position. The collet blocking plug is axially insertable into and removable from a receiver end of the drill pipe.
