The squeegee has to be on one of the ends so it can be inserted into the in ground utility box, and seeing as one end already had a hook used to lift the access door the only viable spot is on the handle. Yes the loop is a handle. If you get a route that is all in-ground meters you could be looking at opening 500+ access doors, if you had to bend down to open each one it would take forever and kill your back and knees. A good reader can open the utility vault read the meter and move on in less than 30 seconds without having to bend down. This “curb tool” as they called it was carried on almost all routes and used as protection from dogs.
