Motion Pro 08-0127 Heavy Duty Spring Hook

It's a spring hook. It did the job just fine, didn't break, seems sturdy enough.

Probably overkill for exhaust spring, strong enough for a center stand spring. Exactly what I needed.

It is a very good tool would highly recommend I would like to see a USA made or Canadian made Chinese do not have very good metal or have not found out how to make anything metal as good as it even should be so it will break or bend long before it should

Right out of the package you can tell this is a quality tool. Solid & enough weight to let you know you got what you paid for. The handle has some diamond cut ridges that offer a little extra grip. The main shaft runs through the handle and is is welded to the handle in two spots. Both the top and bottom. Shaft size at the handle base is small enough that if you wrap your entire hand around the handle, the shaft will fit comfortably between your fingers as you grip. The shaft has a slight taper towards the end and has a slight bend before the hook. With this design, by rotating the handle 360 degrees, it will allows you to gab or set a spring from virtually any direction. Used this to help re-attached a large lift assist spring on a John Deere GT275 Mower. This spring hooks to the front of the frame and attaches just over 1/2 way back along the frame rail into a slot in a bar. Stretched the spring beyond the slot using wire and clamps. Then when in position, used this tool to safely move the spring over into the required position with minimal effort and my hands safely away from any possible damage. Later used it on a mowing deck idler spring that was not as big a challenge, yet again it hooked well and provided the needed leverage to safely remove and reattach the spring. Plan on logging this in my mental "what do I have available" short list for more possible tasks.........

Great tool. Well made and works for those tough hard to get springs on a motorcycle.
