ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose tool, most useful for barbeque work, comprises a pair of parallel arms with barbeque implements at distal ends thereof and which are hingedly joined by a pair of spaced cross members so as to form a movable parallelogram at the other end thereof. This allows the tool to be adjusted in either of two positions so that the arms are adjacent and parallel with the distal end of either arm projecting forward so that its implement can be used alone, or with the arms parallel and spaced apart so that the arms can be squeezed together so that the implements can used as a pair of tongs. One implement is a fork and the other is a spatula. A pair of handles are provided in the middle of the arms. A grasping and hanging ring is attached to the middle of the end cross member. One end of the end cross member is pivotably attached to its arm by a bolt and thumbscrew so that it can be loosened and the parts can be thereafter locked in position; the pivot includes a detent lock for holding the cross member and arm orthogonally. The pivots are preferably formed at locations offset from the arms.
