Abstract
Combination hood support for supporting the hood of an automotive vehicle, jack crank, lug wrench, and wheel cover/hub cap pry tool includes a relatively long rod portion and a relatively short rod portion disposed at a predetermined angle to the relatively long rod portion, and the angle is preferably about 90 degrees. The apparatus is normally stowed beneath the hood of the vehicle and pivots into its hood support functional position and is removable for its jack crank function. The apparatus is also separable so that a portion may be used as a lug wrench and as a pry bar for hub caps and wheel covers.
