The pail handling tool which is used to move 5 gallon pails around the target hall was inspected by A. Newsome. The main tool was checked, but not the spare as it is currently in a disassembled and unusable state. The tool appears to be in good, working condition. The following items were checked.

• Inspect structural integrity of long tube - check for bending, warpage, dents, cracks, rust/corrosion
• Inspect structural integrity of hook assembly - check for bending, warpage, dents, cracks, rust/corrosion
• Inspect fasteners - check all fasteners installed as per drawings, fasteners are tight (note: one fastener on crane interface subassembly was loose - all fasteners in these subassembly were tightened as a precautionary measure)
• Inspect crane interface assembly - check for damage and wear where the tool connects to the crane
• Check alignment - verify the tool connects to the crane and hangs vertically with no major misalignment (this step was not done - alignment is regularly checked during operations, and there was no concern as the tube was straight)

 Note: these tools are being inspected monthly by D. Wang and F. Song.

IMPORTANT: the maximum load capacity and lifter tag for the tool are not present. There is a plan in place to affix these two labels in the very near future.
