A multi-purpose trucker's power puller tool with a hook rod that slides in the bore of a handle, and a weighted head at an end of the handle. The weighted head provides momentum to the hooked end for yanking free stuck objects, such as a truck's fifth wheel pin. The slidable rod also allows the tool to be locked in extended or collapsed positions. The invention also allows interchangeable hook rods to be used, so that the tool may be adapted to different purposes, such as grabbing and pulling eyelets of truck load covers, or pulling chains.
