ABSTRACT:
A gripper tool for facilitating the handling of framing lumber of two inches by four or more inches cross-section used as studs and joists, includes a pair of pivotally joined levers having longer arms at one side of the pivot constituting handles and shorter arms at the other side of the pivot. A first of the shorter arms has a portion which extends from the pivot and at its end has a right angularly extending jaw adapted to engage one side of a lumber member, and the other shorter arm, which is pivotable relative to the first, has a jaw engageable with the opposite side of the lumber member. A thin plate affixed to the extending portion of the first shorter arm extends equidistantly to either side for providing ears adapted to temporarily support on an adjoining lumber member an end of a lumber member to which the jaws are releasably clamped. An optional spring, pivotably attached to the flat plate, is shaped and dimensioned to lock the clamped tool onto an abutting lumber member of the same thickness.
