ABSTRACT:
A tool for use when releasing the kin pin from a fifth wheel coupling mechanism used for coupling a trailer to a tractor vehicle by pulling upon a handle so that the handle moves in a linear direction from a lock position to a release position includes a pair of telescoping shafts and a hook affixed to one end of one of the shafts. The shafts are telescopically movable between a retracted condition and an extended condition, and the hook is sized to be hooked about the handle of the coupling mechanism. The shafts cooperate with one another so that when the tool is in a retracted condition and the hook is hooked about the coupling mechanism handle and the shaft to which the hook is not affixed is suddenly pulled in a direction which corresponds generally to the direction in which the handle is moved when the handle is moved from its lock position to its release position in order to telescope the tool to its extended position, the momentum of the pulled shaft is transferred to the coupling mechanism handle so that the handle moves from its lock position to its release position.
