Paver/Hitching Tongs AWTools AW70656 — AW70656 paver grab tool

AWTools AW70656 is a manual paver grab tool designed to lift, transport and accurately position concrete and stone paving blocks. The tool uses a mechanical gripping mechanism that clamps onto individual or small groups of pavers, allowing a single operator to move heavy units with improved control and reduced physical strain. Constructed for use on construction sites, landscaping projects and home paving jobs, this paver grab supports safer handling and faster placement compared with lifting by hand.

Advantages

The paver grab provides a secure mechanical grip that stabilizes each unit during transfer and positioning. Its straightforward manual operation requires no power source, making it suitable for outdoor work in varied environments. The design reduces the need for stooping and repetitive lifting, lowering operator fatigue and the risk of minor injuries. Durable materials and a compact form factor allow easy storage and transport between job locations.

How to use
