The “Trucker's Tool” is a safer way to pull fifth wheel handles because the length allows truck drivers to stand up straight with (both) feet flat on the ground when pulling on the fifth wheel handle. The “Trucker's Tool” keeps you from bending your back and reaching over the top of the tires to pull the fifth wheel handle with your hand, putting you in an unsafe position. Standing up straight when pulling on the fifth wheel handle helps to keep a driver's head, hand, wrist, arm, and shoulder away from dangerous areas. A driver can put (both) hands on the “Trucker's Tool” when pulling the fifth wheel handle, allowing them to use twice the strength and less the strain on the above mentioned areas of the body helping to lower the risk of injury.
