Years ago when I used both a Maytag wringer and later a Maytag A50 Twintub I only needed to use something to help get the clothes out of the first load of whites when the water was still the hottest. I would just get a big wooden spoon from the kitchen to help lift the clothes out of the hot water. After the first load the water had cooled enough to just use my hands.

Most wringer washer owners had a "washin' stick" that was basically a 20" section of broom handle to dip the clothes up and hoist them onto the feed board of the wringer. Children learned quickly not to misbehave when that was out because it had more than one use. | ||

Have a set of wooden wash tongs use with the Hoover & Maytag
But find them most useful for fetching things that are deep inside tubs, especially when water is hot or near boiling. Otherwise they become more of a bother sometimes.
In effort to arrange washing so it goes through wringer evenly, or in spin basket so it won't be off balanced, your always picking up then putting down the tongs. Since wear gloves while doing the wash with semi-automatics anyway, far easier to just reach into tub and fetch things out. Again will certainly say a wash stick or tongs do come in handy when water is very hot, but otherwise.... | ||
