A two-handed scissor-action grasping implement comprising:
- a first arm;
- a second arm;
- a first clasping paddle;
- a second clasping paddle;
- the first arm and the second arm each extending between a proximal end and a distal end;
- the first clasping paddle being connected adjacent to the distal end of the first arm;
- the second clasping paddle being connected adjacent to the distal end of the second arm;
- the first arm and the second arm being pivotally connected to each other between the proximal end and the distal through a central pivot, wherein the first arm and the second arm are configured to rotate about the central pivot between an open position and a clasping position, and wherein the first clasping paddle and the second clasping paddle are pressed against each other in the clasping position;
- the first clasping paddle being adjustably connected to the first arm through a first fastening mechanism, wherein the first fastening mechanism is configured to adjust a forward paddle angle of the first clasping paddle relative to the first arm;
- and
- the second clasping paddle being adjustably connected to the second arm through a second fastening mechanism, wherein the second fastening mechanism is configured to adjust a forward paddle angle of the second clasping paddle relative to the second arm;
- the first fastening mechanism and the second fastening mechanism each comprising a first spacer, a second spacer, a first fastener, and a second fastener;
- the first arm and the second arm each further comprising a second through hole and a third through hole;
- the second through hole of the first arm traversing laterally through the first arm adjacent to the distal end of the first arm;
- the third through hole of the first arm traversing laterally through the first arm adjacent to the second through hole of the first arm opposite the distal end of the first arm;
- the first spacer of the first fastening mechanism being concentrically positioned with the second through hole of the first arm;
- the second spacer of the first fastening mechanism being concentrically positioned with the third through hole of the first arm;
- the first fastener of the first fastening mechanism traversing through the first clasping paddle, the first spacer of the first fastening mechanism, and the second through hole of the first arm;
- the second fastener of the first fastening mechanism traversing through the first clasping paddle, the second spacer of the first fastening mechanism, and the third through hole of the first arm;
- the second through hole of the second arm traversing laterally through the second arm adjacent to the distal end of the second arm;
- the third through hole of the second arm traversing laterally through the second arm adjacent to the second through hole of the second arm opposite the distal end of the first arm;
- the first spacer of the second fastening mechanism being concentrically positioned with the second through hole of the second arm;
- the second spacer of the second fastening mechanism being concentrically positioned with the third through hole of the second arm;
- the first fastener of the second fastening mechanism traversing through the second clasping paddle, the first spacer of the second fastening mechanism, and the second through hole of the second arm;
- the second fastener of the second fastening mechanism traversing through the second clasping paddle, the second spacer of the second fastening mechanism, and the third through hole of the second arm;
- and
- the second spacer having a greater axial length than the first spacer.
