Step 3Hook Prep
The hook must be prepared in two ways:
1) Slip a rubber tip onto the end of the hook so it won't mar the window finish. (The tip I used was left over from some assemble yourself furniture that used metal dowels to support some shelves.)
2) Depending on how much room you have to work with the hook may not fit between the window frame and sash hanlde. I discovered this when I was trying the tool out. To correct for this use the bench vise to bend the hook into a more flat alignment.
As I said I didn't discover this until I tested it. I recommend you bend it before you attach it to the handle so you are less likely to split the wood. Although doing it after the handle attached would give you more leverage. Well use you own judgement on this one.
