The Hayes Tool

The Hayes Tool™ is an extraordinary new device for the removal and placement of retainer pins on excavation bucket teeth.

The versatile tool is the innovation of Ed Hayes, former equipment maintenance supervisor for Simscroft-Echo Farms, a Simsbury based site excavation, road and utility contractor. It is through his work at Simscroft that he sought out and developed a safer, more effective method of changing bucket teeth in the shop and at the job site.

The Hayes Tool was granted United States Patent number 6,883,221 B1 on April 26, 2005.
