The clamp automatically grips and releases the materials using a gravity-controlled locking latch. It is helpful for moving and setting heavy or awkward retaining wall blocks and slabs. The slim profile allows it to set material in tight places. The clamping jaw and the center of gravity are easily and quickly adjustable using the locking pins. The jaws of the lifter are lined with vulcanized rubber to ensure a safe and non-marking grip. The clamps are gravity-controlled, which open when rested and close when lifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"28\"
