Abstract:

The present invention relates to a handheld tool for opening or actuating attic doors and pulling down extendable attic access ladders therefrom. The tool features a handle/pole that includes a grip at one end, and a hook at the opposite end. The hook is configured to couple with an eyehook of an attic door, thereby enabling a user to pull the handle to open the door. The hook can be coupled to a side hook of the ladder to pull down the access ladder. The handle is extended towards the attic to couple or engage the hook with the eyehook and the side hook, and thereby enables a user to stand on the floor while opening the door and pulling the ladder. The aforementioned obviates the use of a stool, step ladder or any other makeshift elevation mechanism for accessing attic doors.
