It's 17 inches joint to joint and 24 inches overall length. Member -W.T.A. N.T.A. - N.R. A. A Shotgun. A Rifle and a 4 Wheel Drive.. A Country Boy. Will Survive

Looks like it may be for spreading not griping. looking at the hinge it is going to close when you squeeze that handle an extended grabber of some sort , what the intended grabbing was for would be the only question something not very thick America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
