Description: |
The tongs consists of a pipe-vise type holding section, and an adjustable hook-jaw section. A secondary handle swinging from the base of the pipe-vise section is also connected to the hook-jaw section, so that swinging the secondary handle operates the hook-jaw section.
The purpose for this arrangement is to work in locations difficult of access. |
