Aluminum Tube RedCote™ Crook
Use this neck crook for grabbing animals as they are passing by or singling one out of a group.
Red outer finish means it's less likely to be "misplaced" in grass, straw, closets, etc. Also prevents uncoated aluminum from leaving black oxidate on your hands and clothes.

This is a solid tool. I use it all the time when sorting and I would find my job much more difficult without it. It is something you learn to use better over time. I have certainly gotten better with it over time.

I just got mine but I love the narrower neck than on my wooden crook. I find it's easier to catch the lambs and they don't slip out as easily. Having all that length is helpful too.

I have had mine for 8 years the plastic is coming off. The handle is not straight any longer. I am using it every day. Love it
