Zusammenfassung:	A downhole tool and method for orienting a tool string within a passage, wherein the passage is a wellbore or a tubular member disposed in a wellbore. The downhole tool may include a frame (210) operable for connection with the tool string (100), a first orienting feature (211) connected to a first side of the frame (210), and a second orienting feature (212) connected to a second side of the frame (210). The first orienting feature (211) may be rotatable relative to the frame about a first axis of rotation that is offset from a central axis of the tool string and the second orienting feature (212) may be rotatable relative to the frame about a second axis of rotation that is offset from the central axis of the tool string.
