ABSTRACT:
A tool and method are presented whereby a heavy storm drain cover or other object can be easily removed and replaced by an individual workman. The device includes a base having a lever pivotally mounted thereto and an attachment device for the storm drain cover. Once attached the lever is manually lifted causing the cover to raise whereby the user can swivel the lever from side to side to place the cover at a convenient distance. To replace the cover, it is lifted by the lever and is then rotated and lowered over the storm drain opening. A tension device is affixed to the cover attachment to secure it prior to raising by the lever.
