Heavy-duty steel construction: Made from robust steel that resists bending or deformation under working loads. Designed to lift stuck or frozen covers without the shaft bending, so the tool remains reliable during demanding use. J-hook head for greater leverage: The “J”-shaped tip and pointed head provide increased leverage for prying and lifting. The simple hook design lets one person lift grates and covers more efficiently while reducing effort. Oversized handle for gloved hands: The large grip is sized to be comfortable when wearing work gloves, improving control and reducing hand fatigue. The handle and compact form factor make the tool easy to carry and store in a toolbox or tucked into a corner on site. Built for on-site and home use: Suitable for construction sites, municipal sewer maintenance, factories, and general outdoor use. The tool handles a variety of lifting tasks including storm grates, manhole and septic covers, and other heavy steel or cast iron plates. Key benefits — why you need it Safer lifting: J-hook design and leverage reduce the need to twist or strain your back, knees, or hands when removing covers. Durable performance: Solid steel construction keeps the tool functional under heavy loads and repeated use. Versatile: Works with multiple cover types and lifting needs so you can rely on one tool instead of several specialty tools. Portable and easy to store: Compact enough for a toolbox but rugged enough for daily site use. Applications / use scenarios Construction site: Quickly and safely lift storm grates or access covers to inspect or service underground utilities without risking injury from awkward lifting. Municipal/sewer maintenance: Remove stuck or frozen manhole covers during routine inspections and repairs; the tool holds up under repeated heavy use. Factory or equipment relocation: Pry and move steel grates or reposition machinery parts where controlled leverage is required. Material and fit Material: Robust steel shaft and J-shaped tip engineered to withstand working loads without permanent deformation. Handle: Oversized grip designed for use with work gloves and easy handling on-site. Compatibility: Designed for use with storm grates, manhole and septic covers, steel grating, and similar lifting/levering tasks. What to expect A simple, durable levering hook that increases lifting efficiency, improves user safety, and fits easily in your existing tool kit for daily use on-site or around the property.
