The Rudy Tool lifting tool from T&T Tools can be used to remove cast iron valve box covers/lids. Designed with safety in mind, it eliminates the need for prolonged bending or getting on knees to pry lids off with items such as screwdrivers or fingers. Manually operated, the scissors-style lifter removes and re-installs the lids while standing in a safe, upright position. The risk of personal injuries caused by the misuse of screwdrivers or other similar items is removed. 800/521-6893; www.mightyprobe.com.
