Abstract

A radiator cap gripping and turning tool having a stiff and flexible steel band formed in a loop, the ends of which are pivoted to a bar shaped link, upon which a handle is carried, the handle being swingable with the link over the top edge of the flexible band and into confronting relation with the top surface of the cap, thus permitting the application of downward pressure and turning simultaneously; the handle being swingable in the opposite direction to again cause the band to grip the cap and turn the cap in the opposite direction.
