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

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!

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 :)
