Abstract: A device for handling discs such as compact and other discs, method of use and packaging, the device comprising a handle for holding and actuating the device, a first and second arm connected to the handle at a juncture, each arm comprising a distal end having a gripper and a proximal end where the arms are movably attached to each other. The device also comprises a pivot for pivoting the arms in response to actuation of the handle which is located between the juncture of the handle means and the arms. Pressure is applied to the handles so that their inner surfaces move closer together causing the grippers on the arms to pivot away from each other about a pivot so that the grippers may be located about the disc edge. The applied pressure is released so that the grippers engage the edge of the disc which is then removed from its container or other surface.
