the J hook, up the tool from the back of the hook. The handle(s) may be complete with plastic/rubber handgrips. There is a hand shield of wide metal (plastic, composite, or other materials) bar stock or sheet metal (plastic, composite, or other materials) that runs flat up the length of the tool to isolate the users hand from the released binder handle when it springs upward. The operator grips the handle(s), slides the J-hook under the binder handle and pulls up on the lever (binder handle). Once the lever is forced past the release point, kinetic tension will whip the handle upwards under pressure and it will slide harmlessly past the operator'"'"'s hands along the shield—
and the binder is safely released.

Abstract
The KnuckleSaver Binder Release is a safety tool that releases lever-type chain binders with reduced impact danger to the operator. Essentially a J-hook with handles, the operator engages the hook to the handle of the lever-binder and pulls which releases the tension on the binder without dangerous “hands-on” contact with the binder.
