Disclosed is a panel removing tool having a bend portion that is located behind a fulcrum of the tool. During use, the tool pivots about the bend portion applies leverage to remove a panel. The bend portion includes a cover (for example a dipped polymer) that is made of a material softer than a material of the remainder of the tool (for example, stainless steel). The tool therefore prevents scratching or other damage to panels in which the tool is used and allows greater leverage during use due to the recessed bend portion.

A container door opening system for assisting in the opening and closing of rusted tight or stuck hinges on intermodal container doors. The container door opening system generally includes an elongated member having a movably first engaging member and a fixed second engaging member. The first engaging member is movable both towards and away from the second engaging member so as to adjust the effective distance between the engaging members. A bias member is connected to the first engaging member so as to bias the first engaging member away from the second engaging member. The first engaging member may be engaged with a first anchor point on a container door and the second engaging member may be engaged with a second anchor point on the container door. The elongated member may then be pivoted away from the door to open it or towards the door to close it.

A transformer lid lifting tool is disclosed. The transformer lid lifting tool including a handle; a rail pivotally connected to the handle; and a hook connected to a first end of the rail, the hook being configured to engage a bottom edge of a transformer lid.

A door hanging apparatus includes a base for ground contact. A height adjustment bracket is located above the base and includes a lifting platform for supporting an underside of a door. A leadscrew assembly, including a leadscrew, interconnects the base and the height adjustment bracket. The leadscrew assembly operates to vary spacing between the base and the height adjustment bracket in response to rotation of the leadscrew.

A pry bar assembly includes a plate that is elongated and has a first end, a second end, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, an upper surface and a lower surface. The plate includes a claw section, a chisel section and a middle section positioned therebetween. The claw section includes the first end and a rounded heel. The claw section includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is attached to the middle section and curves upwardly and away from the middle section in a semi-cylindrical shape to form the rounded heel. The second portion extends downwardly from the first portion. The chisel section is angled upwardly from the middle section. The upper surface has an elongated crest therein that is spaced from the first and second lateral edges and extends along a length of the middle section and into the chisel section.

A device for lifting a wheel and rolling the wheel on a surface includes an elongated rigid plate having a top side, a bottom side, a peripheral edge, a pedal portion at a rear end of the rigid plate, and a wheel portion at a forward end of the rigid plate. A roller is fixed with the bottom side of the rigid plate and the peripheral edge of the wheel portion at the forward end of the rigid plate is bent upward to form a tire-tread engaging lip, at least a portion of which engages a tread of the wheel. In use, with the wheel resting on the wheel portion, the pedal portion may be pressed downwardly to pivot the rigid plate about the roller to lift the wheel. The lifting device is then rolled on the surface to place the wheel at a desired position.
