A vault cover grabber, bolt cover lifter or vault cover eye-hook is formed from two L shaped components with each component having an eye opening on one end and each component having an L shaped end (lower end) designed to be inserted through a void of a vault cover or other object. The top ends or eye ends of the two components are pivoted apart to allow the two lower ends to pass through a vault cover void. After insertion, the upper eye ends are pivoted together, causing the two lower ends to contain the vault cover. A hook or other object is placed through the two eye voids of the top ends of the two components. A combination of double clevis connectors, shaft collars, shackles and chains secure the vault cover grabber to a handle or other means of lifting.
