Simple Tool Pays Off Daily
“My hook makes getting things out from underneath my pickup topper easy. It has a 44-in. long wooden handle with a 4-in. plastic-covered hook at the end.
  “My wife and I use it for everything from pushing garbage cans, boxes, paint cans and more to the front of the topper and then pulling them back out again. When we moved to our new house, we stacked cardboard banker boxes 3 high and 3 across, pushing each stack forward with the tool. When it was time to pull them back out, the hook did the trick.
  “It’s just a simple screw-in hook like you might use to hang a hose in the shop. I drilled a pilot hole in the end of an old spade handle and screwed in the hook.
  “It took about 2 min. to do, but it has saved me climbing under that topper 1,000 times to retrieve things large and small. I never take the truck anyplace without it.”
