Abstract
An elongated tool is provided for picking up and holding objects in remote or small spaces. The tool includes an elongated flexible body with upper and lower ends defining a longitudinal axis. A clamp on the lower end of the body is movable between open and closed positions, and extends angularly from the longitudinal axis. An actuator on the upper end of the body manually controls opening and closing of the clamp so as to pick up and/or grip a variety of small objects.
