About T&T Tools
T&T Tools manufactures the manhole hooks and lifting tools that utility crews, municipal workers, and facility maintenance teams use to safely handle heavy cast iron covers. Their Top Popper design is the industry standard for single-person cover removal without back injury risk.
Handle Options
- Top Popper Rotated Handle — T-grip rotated 90° for maximum leverage and comfortable lifting posture. The most popular design.
- Top Popper In-line Handle — Straight-line grip aligned with the shaft for pulling covers toward you.
- D-Handle — Traditional D-ring grip, familiar to most field crews.
Shaft Length
Available in 24”, 30”, and 36”. Longer shafts reduce bending but are harder to maneuver in tight spaces. For most field applications, 36” is the standard choice.
