Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure describes an apparatus for moving objects from above that need support at eccentric locations thereof during moving and methods of using the apparatus to move such objects. The apparatus restricts objects from moving relative to the apparatus in multiple directions and, together with the apparatus' support of the objects from below at multiple eccentric locations, provides stability and reduces the possibility of the user being injured or other things being damaged during the object's movement. According to an example embodiment, the apparatus comprises a hand tool having a handle and a plurality of interface members secured to the handle. The handle has an ergonometric shape for comfortable grasping by a user. The interface members depend from and extend outward from the handle to interact with and support an object being moved at multiple eccentric object locations.
