ABSTRACT:
A hand-held device for gripping objects positioned beyond arm's length, comprising a pair of jaws movable relative to each other between an unclamped position and a fully clamped position; a handle spaced apart from the jaws by a central portion, the handle including a trigger connected to the jaws by a pull member, whereby actuation of the trigger is operative to move the jaws between the unclamped and fully clamped positions thereof, and a locking mechanism selectively operable to lock the jaws in at least one intermediate position defined between the unclamped and fully clamped positions; and wherein the pull member is sufficiently resilient so as to permit the jaws to be temporarily urged away from each other towards the unclamped position when the pair of jaws are locked in the at least one intermediate position.
