Some one was selling these on eBay a while back. Mine are home made. Easy to make actually. I have never seen them sold commercially.

Maybe I should buy some materials, make a few then sell them. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've made up more lifters than I could count David but still use and reckon multi-grips pliers are the easiest and most versatile of the lot. JMHO.

I purchased a tent peg lifter a while ago, and it has ended up being my pot lifter.... Works a treat for a little cost

Is that the 2 hooked rods joined by chain?

Will put another vote in for multi grips

they do everything and also come in heaps of sizes.

Multies are great as they sit in the back pocket, but as most of my ovens do not have handles I needed to have a tool that could allow the movement of ovens.

As with most ideas saw what others were using and come up with my own enhancements. 4mm rod - hook - 400mm shaft - coiled handle - 400mm chain - coiled handle - 400mm shaft - hook. The coil hanle gives substance.

(will try and find a photo to do the description justice)

I also now use the hooks for lid work as well, locking the lifting by bringing the hooks in from each side (good for 18'/20' ovens where the lid plus coals could be as much as 14kg).

I made my CO hooks and chain for under $7.00

Bunnings have hanging pot hangers for a couple of bucks...

A bit of a twist in the metal

Add a bit of chain and you are done...

If I was doing it again, I would make the loops much smaller, but it works a treat..

Called a "Mair" lid lifter David. same as LogFires SIL, I copied one I saw on an American site and made several. They are good, give you full control over a hot lid....... but I still pefer multigrips, you can stick 'em in your back pocket or put them in an oven when you're packing up, you can't do that with the Mair L L.
