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.
