Dog Bone Hooks
Dog Bone Hooks
This category features the Leatherhead Tools Dog Bone Pike Pole, a hook named for the D-shaped, dog bone style handle end that gives firefighters a secure second grip. Like other pike poles, it is used to pull ceilings, open walls and overhaul after a fire, and the handle shape makes pushing and pulling easier when you need both hands on the tool.
How to choose
- Length: Pick a length that reaches the ceilings you work under most. Shorter hooks handle better inside rooms and hallways, longer ones reach high ceilings.
- Head: Look at the hook and point shape for the materials you pull most often, such as drywall, plaster and lath.
- Storage: Make sure the length fits your apparatus compartments or hook brackets.

Dog Bone Hook FAQ
What is the dog bone handle for?
The D-shaped end acts as a second handle, giving a firm grip for pulling down ceiling material and pushing the hook up into a ceiling.
How is it different from a New York hook?
A New York hook is typically a solid steel tool known for prying and roof work, while a dog bone pike pole is set up for pulling ceilings and overhaul.
