Abstract: A grasping tool for extracting the remaining portion of a broken torsion bar from a tracked vehicle has been devised. The tool (20) comprises at least one gripping jaw (24A) pivotedly mounted to a support shaft. The jaw (24A) is positioned opposite from an extension of the support shaft or alternatively a second gripping jaw, thereby defining a space therebetween. The movement of the engaging member (44) along a length of the support shaft into abutment against one end of the jaw (24A) causes an opposing end of the jaw to be urged toward the opposing extension or second gripping jaw and to retainingly engage an object positioned in the aforesaid space. The tool may have extension members and is constructed to be easily dismantled.
