Pick Up Stix

Pick Up Stix is a toilet installation and removal tool made by Willim Ventures Inc., a company based in Winnipeg, Canada. The tool is patented in Canada, the United States, China, and Europe. It's built specifically for lifting, positioning, and setting toilets during installation and removal work.

Product Lines

The core product is the Pick Up Stix toilet lifter itself, a single-purpose tool rather than a broad product line. It's designed to be lightweight enough to store in a standard toolkit. It also includes a feature for aligning T-bolts during toilet installation, which is one of the more fiddly steps in setting a toilet bowl.

Why Contractors Specify Pick Up Stix

Plumbers specify Pick Up Stix because lifting or repositioning a toilet bowl by hand is a common source of back strain or cracked porcelain on installation and removal jobs. A dedicated lifting tool spreads the load differently than gripping the bowl directly. This reduces the physical strain of the lift and lowers the chance of dropping or chipping the fixture.

Because the tool also helps align the T-bolts, it can save time during the reinstall step compared to positioning the bowl by hand and checking bolt alignment repeatedly.

How to Choose Pick Up Stix Products

Pick Up Stix is a single tool rather than a model lineup, so the main decision is whether it fits the scope of a plumber's toilet work. A contractor who regularly installs, removes, or replaces toilets benefits most from adding it to a standard toolkit, since its lightweight design means it doesn't take up much space.

For occasional toilet work, some plumbers may weigh whether a dedicated lifting tool is worth carrying versus handling the bowl manually. Still, the reduced strain and lower breakage risk make it a practical addition for most trucks.
