A vibratory tool for downhole use is capable of letting a wireline or other tools pass a passage therethrough that can be subsequently closed by landing a plug on a seat. The dump valve is disposed annularly about the central passage so that cycling the tool does not cause it to be slammed against a seat. Since only a plug is delivered to a passage the functioning parts already in the housing are made stronger to improve reliability. Additional power is delivered per stroke from modular stacked piston units. The tool can be run in a manner where the high amplitude low frequency oscillating forces are delivered to the stuck fish without impacts of the pistons on the housing.

We claim: 1. A vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing having a longitudinal first passage therethrough; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing and having a second passage substantially aligned with said first passage; a valve mounted substantially outside aligned portions of said passages for selectively regulating the direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing; said passages provide access for passing other tools through the tool while disabling said tool from operating when said access is available. 2. The tool of claim 1, wherein: said valve circumscribes said mandrel. 3. The tool of claim 1, wherein: said valve comprises a member that moves between a closed and an open position without said member receiving significant impact forces. 4. The tool of claim 3, wherein: said sealing member is mounted to said mandrel. 5. A vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing having a longitudinal first passage therethrough; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing and having a second passage substantially aligned with said first passage; a valve mounted substantially outside aligned portions of said passages for selectively regulating the direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing; said tool further comprises a plug insertable in said aligned passages to selectively enable the tool to operate. 6. The tool of claim 5, wherein: said plug has no moving parts. 7. A vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing having a longitudinal first passage therethrough; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing and having a second passage substantially aligned with said first passage; a valve mounted outside aligned portions of said passages for selectively regulating the continuous and cyclical direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing that continues as long as input to said mandrel and housing is not changed; said mandrel comprises a plurality of pistons whose piston area is additive in defining a driving force for moving said mandrel in one direction. 8. The tool of claim 7, wherein: said pistons are connected to said mandrel and disposed in an annular space between said mandrel and said housing; said passage in said mandrel comprising a plurality lateral outlets into said annular space to transmit pressure in said mandrel passage to drive said pistons. 9. The tool of claim 7, wherein: said housing and said mandrel are modular structures to facilitate assembly of the desired number of pistons into the tool. 10. The tool of claim 7, wherein: said pistons are selectively movable in tandem in opposed directions without impacting said housing that surrounds them. 11. The tool of claim 7, wherein: said mandrel continues to move, from an original position, in the direction powered by said pistons after said valve opens, and said pistons thereafter remain disabled from powering said mandrel for another cycle until said mandrel is returned substantially to its original position so as to maximize the stroke length of mandrel movement. 12. The tool of claim 11, wherein: said valve closes as said pistons return to said original position. 13. A vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing having a longitudinal first passage therethrough; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing and having a second passage substantially aligned with said first passage; a valve mounted substantially outside aligned portions of said passages for selectively regulating the direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing; said valve circumscribes said mandrel; said valve comprises an inner surface facing said mandrel with a larger and smaller dimension; said mandrel comprises a seal to close said valve when said seal is in contact with said smaller dimension and to open said valve when said seal is moved to adjacent and out of contact with said larger dimension. 14. A surface controlled vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing; a valve for selectively regulating the direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing, said valve comprises a member that moves axially in a single direction with respect to said mandrel between a closed position wherein contact is made on an inner periphery of said valve member and an open position where contact is discontinued on the inner periphery of said valve member and continues movement between said open and said closed positions with continuously delivered surface pressure to said housing. 15. The tool of claim 14, further comprising: a sealing member mounted to said mandrel. 16. The tool of claim 14, wherein: said mandrel comprises a plurality of pistons whose piston area is additive in defining a driving force for moving said mandrel in one direction. 17. The tool of claim 16, wherein: said pistons are selectively movable in tandem in opposed directions without impacting said housing that surrounds them. 18. The tool of claim 16, wherein: said mandrel continues to move, from an original position, in the direction powered by said pistons after said valve opens, and said pistons thereafter remain disabled from powering said mandrel for another cycle until said mandrel is returned substantially to its original position so as to maximize the stroke length of mandrel movement. 19. A vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing; a valve for selectively regulating the direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing, said valve comprises a member that moves between a closed and an open position without said member receiving significant impact forces; said valve comprises an inner surface facing said mandrel with a larger and smaller dimension; said mandrel comprises a seal to close said valve when said seal is in contact with said smaller dimension and to open said valve when said seal is moved to adjacent and out of contact with said larger dimension. 20. The tool of claim 19, wherein: said valve circumscribes said mandrel; said housing having a longitudinal first passage therethrough; said mandrel having a second passage substantially aligned with said first passage, said valve mounted substantially outside aligned portions of said passages. 21. A vibratory tool for downhole use, comprising: a housing; a mandrel movably mounted to said housing; a valve member having an inner periphery for selectively regulating the continuous and cyclical direction of relative movement between said mandrel and said housing by virtue of establishment and removal of surface contact of said inner periphery that continues as long as input to said mandrel and housing is not changed; said mandrel comprises a plurality of pistons whose piston area is additive in defining a driving force for moving said mandrel in one direction. 22. The tool of claim 21, wherein: said pistons are connected to said mandrel and disposed in an annular space between said mandrel and said housing; said passage in said mandrel comprising a plurality of lateral outlets into said annular space to transmit pressure in said mandrel passage to drive said pistons. 23. The tool of claim 21, wherein: said housing and said mandrel are modular structures to facilitate assembly of the desired number of pistons into the tool. 24. The tool of claim 21, wherein: said pistons are selectively movable in tandem in opposed directions without impacting said housing that surrounds them. 25. The tool of claim 21, wherein: said mandrel continues to move, from an original position, in the direction powered by said pistons after said valve opens, and said pistons thereafter remain disabled from powering said mandrel for another cycle until said mandrel is returned substantially to its original position so as to maximize the stroke length of mandrel movement. 26. The tool of claim 25, wherein: said valve closes as said pistons return to said original position.
