T&T Tools 24-Inch Manhole Cover Hook Tool - 5/8 Inch, Single Hook - 1 Pack

Based on the price I was expecting a light duty hook, and I’d have to be careful to not bend it. Nope! This thing is heavy duty. Highly recommend

Works great for pulling large potted plants and trees

Good tool

I work on irrigation manholes regularly and this thing is always with me when it's time to open gates. It's light, but very sturdy. The hook slips in the hole to pull the lids off with ease and pulling the lid up is made easier by the handle design. It also works great as a leverage tool for stuck gate wheels. Working with manhole lids is always awkward, but this beats the hell out of a shovel. I also found it works feels as a climbing tool getting to manholes on hills and is a fair deterrent when working with manholes in sketchy areas. I even like their alien mascot sticker. If I had to pick a negative, the blue coating isn't too durable once you start using it.

My wife opened up to me after buying this !

As advertised. This will work great for the manhole pulling in my husband's future. He especially loved the sticker that came with it that said, "You've been hooked". Fast delivery also!!

Beats bending over and using a hammer claw!

This is a great tool for removing the concrete lids on below grade septic tanks. Very well built and should last forever. The one complaint is that the paint isn't adhered to the tool and just peels away in sheets. See attached pic for reference. I peeled all the paint off and hit it with clean metal primer and a lick of paint, so it's easy to remedy. The paint issue is the only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars.

Works as expected

The hook is working great on lifting heavy concrete lids
