    Abstract: A gripper device, having two rotably connected gripper arms substantially longer than the length of the trigger handle structure, is taught. The arms open when the handle is squeezed and close when handle is released. Each arm has a set of grip and hold hooks. Together, the first grip and hold hook on each arm grips and holds a pair of socks for putting on, while the second grip and hold hook grips and holds socks on a wearer's foot for removal. The device grips and holds up to 25 pounds and grips and lifts up to five pounds. A thumb lock can lock the jam plate into a position relative to the plunger rod providing for unrestricted upward and downward movement of the rod, but when in unlocked position the plunger rod has unrestricted downward, but restricted upward motion allowing for the setting of many width openings.
