ABSTRACT:
A picking tool for litter and the like includes a handle with a manually graspable upper end and jaw elements at the lower end which can be opened and closed by operating the handle to grasp material to be lifted. The handle includes two generally parallel handle sections which can be squeezed together by manual operation at the upper end. The squeezing action operates on a pair of gear tooth fulcrum members at the lower which are thus pivoted open by the squeezing action. Each fulcrum member can replacably receive a jaw element for grasping the material between the two jaw elements. One style of jaw element comprises a scoop. A second style of jaw element includes an outer pinch edge and a pair of receptacles rearwardly of the pinch edge for collecting materials of different sizes.
