Moody Tools 51-1850 Spring Tool Hook & Lifter, 8.125 Length

After all these years, I naturally turned to Moody Tools when I needed a spring hook. My last one didnt break or fail. Someone recognized what a great tool it was and borrowed it!

Sturdy and simple tool. Does the tricky work with precision and doesnt bend, a nice feature when you need a secure tool

Im not sure what I will use this for...but someday it will come in handy around the house. I find little tools like this come in handy around the house, garage and shed. It seems I frequently use my scribe for things...this tool will be a nice addition to my arsonal. It is pretty sturdy/strong...I dont think I will bend this tool, with use within reason. It seems of good quality, nice finish, nice knurled handle...and I saved the BEST for last....wait for it.......... When I opened my package I was greeted with a beautiful American flag sticker proudly sporting... MADE IN U.S.A. ...what a great feeling it was...I cant remember the last time I felt like that! Moody Tools...made by our brothers & sisters in Rhode Island, U.S.A. I will be sure to look for the Moody Tools brand in the future. No I am NOT an employee. Update: 01-07-13: Well, i used it, it did come in handy around the house...less than a month after I unwrapped it for Xmas (bought it for myself). True story here...my 7 y/o girl lost the keys to the little padlock on an old journal of hers she found buried in her room. In her world, apparently this was an issue that needed to be resolved and was of a time critical sort. Last night I spent about an hour with my tool arsonal trying to pick this cute little girlie padlock. It became obvious quickly, this lock was not just for show, this lock really was built to keep her big brother from reading it. Anyway, I utilized this tool, 4 different scribes, precision screw drivers and about anything else that might pick this lock. No luck! Told her it was time for bed and she needed to find the key...keep looking for it. Today she still could not find the key, her and Mom gave me permission to destroy the lock if I had to. I did not want to brake it, the lock itself is really cute, so I tried, tried again...to pick this thing. Now knowing that destruction was the next step, I used more force than before and used this tool...I was convinced its shape was the closest shape I had to the lost key. I was pretty rough with it...twisting pretty hard...then..... YES...success. This tool worked successfully, and was responsible for solving all of the worlds problems today for my little girl. Oh, thats right, the tool...after some vigorous twisting and bending forces, metal on metal type, this tool and its tip did not bend or get damaged. I utilized the flat tip in this operation. Not sure when Ill ever use it again, but even if it was just for this one occasion, it was worth the few dollars. I did wish its knurled handle was a little bigger around for a better grip though. Hope this helps.

Overall a great product. Newer models/versions seem to be more sturdy than older ones. Must have tool for printer repairs or any other situation where manipulating springs and shafts would be required.

IT IS A STRONG TOOL. IT SHOULD LAST FOREVER.

Does the job

Love these spring hooks. Lost mine so order two more. Cant live without them great for springs, obviously, but also great for small wiring in mechanisms.

been looking for a new spring hook that is a good one for years .lo and behold i now (and the other tecks )haveone

I use this to replace belts and remove/attach springs when working on audio gear. It is just the right size for my needs. I also like the notch in the end oposite of the hook as it helps to push and align belts.

Perfect fir my work.
