What tool is used to pull ceiling?

• A. Rake
• B. Crowbar
• C. Shovel
• D. Pike pole

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that pulling the ceiling requires a tool designed to reach up and grab or lift material from above. A pike pole is specifically built for this task: a long, rigid pole with a curved steel head that lets you reach into the ceiling space and pull down or loosen ceiling material from a safe distance. This helps expose hidden fires and prevent extension while keeping you away from directly under a potentially collapsing section. Rake, crowbar, and shovel aren’t suited for this purpose—rakes are for moving surface debris, crowbars are for prying, and shovels are for moving material on the floor. The pike pole’s reach and specialized head make it the best tool for pulling ceilings.
