Load Lifting Tool Saves Your Back

Load lifting tool saves your back FARM SHOP Tools 10-1-28 The use of basic physics helped Darrel Longman, Henry, Ill., invent a leverage lifting tool to either pull or swing objects up to 400 lbs. with no bending or back strain. Working on the basic fulcrum principle, the tool helps move grain augers, tillage equipment for hitching, feeders, refrigerators, snowmobiles, boats, and many other objects. The new lifting tool consists of a 5-ft., 2-in. steel shaft with a rubber handle. At the base of the shaft is a universal foot to provide lifting stability. An adjustable cable runs through a pulley near the top of the handle and locks into position with a steel washer. The reversible lift hook has one end for non-flat undersurfaces and another for flat undersurfaces. To pull an object forward, the hook is centered under the machinery and the shaft pulled towards the operator. To swing an object, the hook is attached under one corner and the shaft swung in the direction the object should go. Takes just one hand to operate. Sells for $19.95.
