Abstract: A material handling device for use in manipulating a tubular substrate includes a C-clamp, which in turn comprises a movable jaw that is pivotally coupled to a fixed jaw. A handle is coupled to and extends from an outer surface of the fixed jaw. An actuator is coupled to the fixed jaw. The actuator is operationally coupled to the movable jaw so that the actuator is positioned firstly to pivot the movable jaw relative to the fixed jaw to position the C-clamp in an open configuration, and, secondly, to pivot the movable jaw relative to the fixed jaw to position the C-clamp in a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the C-clamp is configured to insert a tubular substrate. In the closed configuration, the C-clamp couples to the tubular substrate, positioning a user to grasp the handle to manipulate the tubular substrate.
