"Merrick Originals":
Hood Picker

The Hood Picker is one of the "Merrick Originals". The Merrick Originals Specialty Tools were designed and built by people who know auto restoration projects. We designed these tools first because we needed a tool to do the job and found that no one made it! Once we created the tool for ourselves, we decided that it might make life a whole lot easier for others and began offering our unique "Merrick Originals" line of tools. These are durable, steel tools, that will last a lifetime in your shop or garage. We are proud to put the Merrick name on them, and are equally proud that serious auto lovers have chosen to put them in their shops, garages, and businesses.

Attach the Hood Picker to your engine hoist and one person can easily remove (and install) vehicle hoods and trunk decks. Position the "fingers" and adjust the pivoting tilt and then remove the bolts. The hood or trunk is now held securely by the Hood Picker. Roll it out of your way. Reinstall by reversing the steps. Your life just got easier!
