  • Patent number: 6089075
    Abstract: A manually usable bumper repair tool formed of a steel shank with a first hook end and a second hook end, each of which hook ends curves to a thin edge adapted for prying underneath and clasping a portion of a bumper or other sheet metal structure. The steel shank is provided with one or more apertures for engaging a lever bar of suitable length. One of the thin edges is placed under a portion of a bumper surface and the lever bar is positioned through one of the apertures. For exerting maximum force, apertures distally disposed from the engaged hook end may be used. Using a wall of the aperture as the fulcrum, by rotatably and pivotally applying a force on the lever bar, a linear or angular force may be applied at the work surface so that the structure is straightened, or pulled or pushed into its original design shape.
