When you don't want to get in the steam/heat of the oven, or, like I am now, not capable of bending or using my arm much, it is better for dragging the oven shelf out. i have had this for 15 years. Mostly, I use it for reaching and pulling things off high shelves. It stays in a little crock beside the stove with other utensils.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-22533749879719070912011-04-11T03:10:38.163-05:002011-04-11T03:10:38.163-05:00I have never heard of such a thing.

I think mine has a 12 inch ruler marked on it. I don't use it much, but just the other day it came in handy for reasons I can't quite put together now. Matt didn't even know we had it. Maybe it will see more use now.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-39537914486180207362011-04-10T19:34:01.814-05:002011-04-10T19:34:01.814-05:00Linda M, Hmmmm....I suppose it could lift certain ...Linda M, Hmmmm....I suppose it could lift certain pot lids as long as the lid was not heavy.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-19867143041421160232011-04-10T19:24:33.993-05:002011-04-10T19:24:33.993-05:00I thought it was a pot lid lifter!
