No, these keys are intended for light-duty applications only and are not suitable for heavy-duty or commercial-grade manhole covers that experience significant weight or traffic.
The handle width is 100mm, providing a comfortable grip for leverage.
Clean the keys with a damp cloth after use and store them in a dry place to prevent rust. The malleable iron construction is durable but proper care ensures longevity.
No, these keys are sold as a pack of two.
The keys are manufactured from a single piece of malleable iron for strength and durability.
Verify that the manhole cover is designed for light-duty use and features D-shaped keyholes. These keys may not fit covers with different slot designs or heavy-duty requirements.
Ensure the keys are fully inserted and that you are applying steady, upward leverage. If the cover is extremely heavy or stuck, these light-duty keys may not be sufficient; consider professional assistance or a more robust tool.
While some play might exist, excessive looseness could indicate incompatible cover design or wear. Ensure the D-shape is correctly aligned with the slot. For safety, do not use if the fit is very poor.
Setup: No setup is required. Simply insert the D-shaped ends of the keys into the corresponding slots on the manhole cover. Ensure the keys are fully seated for optimal leverage.
Compatibility: These keys are designed for *light-duty* manhole covers featuring D-shaped keyholes or slots. They are *not* compatible with covers that require significant force, have different keyhole shapes, or are intended for heavy vehicle traffic. Always verify the manhole cover type before use.
Care: After use, clean the keys with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. The malleable iron construction is robust, but avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions will extend their lifespan.
