Abstract: A pipe and sheet stock handling tool disclosed herein comprises a handle with a forked gripping means at the end which can be placed astraddle one edge of the sheet of metal or the edge of the pipe. Lifting the handle causes the tool to grip said sheet stock and allow simple movement and/or positioning. The fork has gripping teeth (perhaps comprising a biting screw pointed on the end and adjustable and lockable for varying stock thickness) on each jaw that will grab or bite into the stock to provide a stable grip. A variation of the tool (a multi fork version) has one fork on a first end of the handle and 2 forks (one fork attached to the outer jaw of the other) on a second end. The fork on the first end is similar to the one mentioned above. The forks on the second end comprise a larger simple fork with yet another fork attached with a screw on the outer jaw and an opposing smoothly curved inner jaw specially designed for soft metal (such as copper) which may need to be handled without marring.
