Good job Werkhorse, reminds me of the ice-man and his tongs who used to deliver to my grandmother in Melbourne as late as the early 50's.

This design has had many uses and all are good. The first I remember was seeing a similar tool on the railways for picking up lengths of track and in an engineering shop lifting sheet metal only the jaws had teeth.
I don't remember the "ice man" from back in those days, maybe because of age but I do remember the "dunny man" collection the bog tin and capping it then throwing it up onto the back of the most powerful truck known in them days. It had 48
piss-tins. What a beauty.

I made a sort of double one to pick up the concrete pile bits I put my containers on.........silly me left it onsite ,and the thieveing Nigerians living next yard stole it and scrapped it as well as the steel ramps I was using.......Ill say one thing about the Afgans next yard,since they started the car yard ,nothing has been stolen ......previously ,tons of stuff was stolen ,and the crowd living in the house at the "Plant Factory"couldnt have missed it ...right under their windows.
