Trim's recessed cans

[6pack]

going thru some things(tools) rummage coming up.Came across(NAME?) a tool I had seen at a wholesale house. Many years back.
Basically shaped like screw driver only A hook on the end.
IT IS used for popping springs IN or OUT on recessed cans(tanks,Hi-Hats)trims, found this tool to be very usefull.
Possibly all may have by now or yet something even better out there today. If not recommend for all, who install numerous recessed lumens. GL

Havn't seen one of those tools. I hardly ever put in the type of cans any more that use the little springs. I like to use Progress cans, and the trims mount very easily.

Got any specialized electrician's tools to get rid of? I'm looking for a Greenlee 1810 and 1811 (1/2 and 3/4 offsetter). And a small handheld ratchet cutter for SE cable. Hate to pay new money for these just to do side work. Boss doesn't look favorably on using company tools for side work.

only item unclaimed is hydraulic bender, shoes only for ridgid up to 2". Do have a ratchett cutter, don't know what they cost today, think it was around? $75.00. It's a tool once you buy you'll never sell, worth every penny.(can't say this, but best tool when working live entrances, espescially when drops are short of slack.) Don't know how's by you but 3' slack was always required on service entrance slack by POCO, when they finished poss a foot was left nice scrap pile at end of the year. If working 2 jobs this should be in your truck or trunk.(along with 5' lenghts of conduit to fit trunk) I think today you cant touch drops(legally) without notifying POCO. Where located now, you can't even remove the meter(without legal action). They also are great on anything over a #3 when fittting to lugs. I'd get a cheaper tool pouch and buy the cutter. Thinking back, just one right use of this tool pays for itself.(plus less gray hairs, from fear of falling off the ladder when hack saw bumps the pipe when cutting hot.)
If I stumble on one, I'll let you know.
