What the heck is an Iver Tool??

I've got a lot of question about the pile of brackets in my toolbox, and although I've used it quite a few times, I haven't yet used it on a job that was filmed for KZfaq. Well today that finally changed and I'm able to show how it works on an actual truck. The Iver Tool allows for much better weight distribution across your own wrecker, while also making it easier to hookup to low trucks, and also gives you a very string recovery point when needed.

When I was towing in Europe we used a "VDZ set" its quite similar to Ivel tool. It had ist own adapters for tow bar, lots of EU truck have a screw in tow hooks and air ride front axle + low front bumper... It was nice to use just screw appropriately "bolt" then turn a locking nut, screw on a hook and just hook to tow bar with proprietary adapter. + it had its own adapter for witching out a truck. And it wasn't less expensive than Ivel Tool.

We have lift tow adaptors that hook straight to them rather than the having the fork adaptors. So much simpler and safer system then using forks or chain adaptors

This is why they set the OBD standards back in the late 80's. All the auto manufacturers were doing different computers and interfaces and not allowing access to the tools to diagnose their cars unless you were a dealership. Even now i still have to pay a thousand dollars or more to update my ITC Genesys (funny how that is a common name) with siftware and interface chips. Just dont have to buy a new adaptor cord every time they decide.

I'm not an expert, but I know in Europe we have a similar system that will even steer along with the tow truck. That means they can leave the truck they're towing completely on the ground. No extra weight or height. They only need to lift up to back, because then the steering doesn't work correctly. It's very cool!

Casey, this is just my opinion, so give it whatever consideration you wish, but I just watched the short of you towing the loaded truck and trailer with the Iver Tool. I may have commented on this before, but I think the shorts would be better if you narrated over them, rather than playing music. Though I am glad to see that you are making an effort to capitalize on that venue as KZfaq suggested.

That sure works great. I'm sure once you start towing a lot more aerodynamic trucks it's going to pay off in just potential body damage.

I like the way that you shrug off the ease of reversing a double pivot. Most ppl have no idea how to do 1, let alone 2 (me included, and Ive been a heavy rig operator for 40 years). I was thinking that you have 1 of the pivots locked off somehow, but I know u didnt. Nice job Casey. Just 1 hiccup was the safety chain joined to that system. If that system failed, u would have no safety backup.
