    johnson bar

    recently i sold a heavy drum sander and the guy that picked it up brought
    a J bar or johnson bar to lift the sander and i placed a cart at the other
    end and it was easily moved to the back of his truck .
    I decided then and there i had to make one of these ,so this is my version
    overbuilt a bit but it does work

    Nice, but I think I would have labeled that particular tool as a "Kern" bar.
