Looks like a crane attachment, it slides along the rod. If it was a release it would be fixed to the body of the tool.

If a crane won't fit in the kitchen, could I use a rental 2 ton engine hoist instead? I think it might be cheaper than cutting an access hole in the roof.
Maybe I should start a thread to be sure
The roof needs a skylight anyways, for dramatic entrances.If a crane won't fit in the kitchen, could I use a rental 2 ton engine hoist instead? I think it might be cheaper than cutting an access hole in the roof.

Yeah, it's got nothing to do with the release.
So what is this crane attachment for and how does someone use?
Trying to picture cargo bar in bed of a truck, then what, they just hang random junk from that little bar?
I'm thinking a added safety for overhead use, so it doesn't fall on someone.

So, not for Jeepers to hang a little rubber ducky, then?
S hook for tape measure. It slides but can only slide from the end of it at shortest length up to longest length. Not sure how it helps or has anything to do with a tape measure since it won't stay in place anywhere you put it. And of course, complete instructions never come with products these days so no help there.

I could see storage being more likely than tape measure use. The length of that metal bar just perfectly clears the pad, so you were to hang it up, the s hook would clear the end of the pad and be able to hang from a hook. This is probably the reason for it, especially because of the length being that perfect size.

I think it's safe to say only the original designer has a clue what this was for, and all these chinese companies just slap that shit together.

But that image shows the tool supporting the cabinet from below… clearly false advertising
Oh shit
- what if OP bought the vertical model and tries to use it horizontally?

If your counter isn't level, you have a really shitty cabinet installer. As far as the ceiling goes, the crown or scribing will take care of any gaps.Until he encounters a room where the ceiling or counter isn't perfectly level.

Yup.
Kids can climb into it and play and seek. Wife can fill it with bricks.
Ain't going nowhere. 6 long screws into studs.
And this cargo bar thing will get used all summer in the bed of truck and anytime I have other projects that need a 3rd arm.
Happy camper. Thanks for finding the sweet deal at HF on page 1. Love it.

Because having an obvious taper in the toe kick that you see every day is sooo much better than having to keep the few "round enough to roll" things from rolling.Fix it so your shit doesn't roll off
Fuck that. Nobody is gonna notice 1" over 8ft off level. Everyone is gonna notice when the cabinet at one end is an inch higher off the floor than the one at the other end.
And crack a bunch of plaster and drywall in the process while deleting energy efficient self-closing doors? Nope.
If it didn't crack on the way down, it wont crack on the way back up. Good bottle jack, take tension up over several days until its back in place, lag bolt in supporting pieces, remove jack. My parents back section of house was built in the 1760s, main section is 1810s-ish, grew up doing this shitBecause having an obvious taper in the toe kick that you see every day is sooo much better than having to keep the few "round enough to roll" things from rolling.
