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

This is a tool for hooking small springs into place. I use it on antique Teletypes. If you have to work on things with small springs, you need one of these.

My husband used one of these tools when he worked on typewriters back in the 1970s. When he didnt need it for work anymore, he gave it to me, and I have used it many, many times for all kinds of different situations. I havent used this new one yet but compared it to my old one (which is still in good shape after all these years), and this new one seems a bit sturdier, so I will probably never need to buy another one. Its such a handy little tool that I wanted to make sure I had a spare one just in case my old one should happen to break. The quality of this new tool seems excellent, even better than my old one, and I am very happy with this purchase :)

Not the intended use, Im sure, but I had one of those plastic reusable ice cubes stuck in my (round) sink drain/pipe and I couldnt pry it out with my finger, so I needed something small with a bit of a hook to get underneath and dislodge it/pull it up so I could remove it... turns out, this was the perfect tool for the job! This is perhaps a very specific use-case scenario, but in case someone runs into a similar situation, this will do the trick!

Handy tool.

Great tool for a fraction of the price Ive seen elsewhere

Great, durable tool for spring removal/replacment and other applications. A must for a handymans toolkit or technicians who need a tool with a hook for wire or other object removal.

This is a good tool for putting on and taking off springs. Also good for getting to hard to reach areas to remove paper clips and staples.

I working as a field engineer for multifunctional printing devices from numerous manufacturers and use these often. A day doesnt pass that I don;t have to interact with many various springs and I find this an invaluable tool. I at times manage to misplace them. Great affordable source of a quality tool.

Great! have been hoping to find for many years. Great tool! Decent price.
