ABSTRACT:
A hand tool for removing/replacing individual paving stones, bricks, tiles and the like includes a relatively stationary upper handle affixed to a depending rear jaw having a lower grasping end and which cooperates with a similar, opposed jaw as affixed to a lower, displaceable handle. These two main components are connected through a transverse pivot fastener joining the free distal end of the upper handle to the forward end of the lower handle, adjacent its fixation to the front jaw. With the upper handle formed with a cross-section of that of an inverted U-channel and the lower handle defining a U-channel in cross-section, the former is sandwiched within the latter to provide a comfortable, positive grip as a user places a palm over the upper handle with the thumb and forefinger straddling same while the finger tips engage the displaceable lower handle to manipulate it and its attached front jaw to vary the spacing between the two jaws and the clamping action therebetween as a block or the like is engaged by the lower jaw tips. To most positively engage blocks of varying configurations, the jaw lower tips may be alternately configured to provide straight, curved, or pairs of angularly offset portions.
