QLT By MARSHALLTOWN Brick Tongs, Metal Handle Paver Claw for Lifting, Masonry, 88

This a tool you need. It works easy and it saves your hands

Got this today. Having to re-level sinking 16" × 16" concrete pavers 37 lbs each. Its been raining so they are extra heavy. On top of that bad tendonitist in my right wrist. This gadget worked! Still heavy but much easier to lift them. Im a 75 year old female. There's been a few reviews that said it broke. If this thing breaks I'll gladly buy another one. I got all the pavers lifted and moved in a 10th of the time moving the same number. I'm now not dreading finishing this job.

Used for putting down 16x24 patio stones, worked fantastic and saved my hands, made placing without sliding pavers in the sand super easy! Will also allow for easy removal/replacement down the line, can grab stones out of the middle of the patio no problem.

Good sturdy tool but we had to modify it for our paver project. We needed a tool to help move around some 12x12 and 6x12 pavers for our new patio. The tongs are really made for something at least 14 inches but luckily my husband was able to cut down the tubes and shorten the tool. Once we did that, it worked great. It was especially helpful when we had to remove a paver. Overall, happy with the tool as it felt sturdy and I didn't find any other tools in this price range that would have worked for our project.

Works as advertised, I have had others that were better ( easier to release, finger hold to pick up on release) but great for the price

Came quickly and was as described. The welds seem very secure. I have used once worked well.

first thing I did when I received it is look at the welds. There are a couple of reviews that mention the welds failed after a while. So they seem to be fine. Hard to tell really since they are painted over so without removing the paint, and performing a dye penetrant inspection, it’ll be pretty hard to tell whether they are definitely good or bad. In any case, I figured for my use, this would be just fine. I’m not a pro, but for what I’m doing right now on the property, it’s perfect and is saving me some time to carry the bricks all over the place. I’m not overloading the tool anyway since I’m not out to make money or break my back. So far, the tool is working out great. All that being said, if you look at the pictures, the hinged end has a bigger weld than the other. You can see the hinge pin on the first pic. Since the end plates are recessed a little where the weld id, it could be improved by extending the bream a little in the end plate… but again, this tool works for me, so I’m quite happy with it.

It's ok. Seems a little flimsy. At its smallest setting it's still too big for the wall block I was using, was able to use it on the cap blocks though, and had the blocks slip a little making me not really trust it.

Very easy working with this. Well made and built for purpose. Shifting concrete blocks is as easy as pie and layin on is a cinch.

j'avais une bonne job pour remettre un muret en bloc de ciment mon outil a été très utile et solide . un bon outil

Sturdy tool, lifts well.

Produit acheté pour la pose de pavés de granit de 30 Kg pièce, cette pince a l'air de résister on verra à l'usage lorsque j'aurais posé les 800 pavés en attente.
