An apparatus for gripping and weight-dependent clamping of workpieces, bar guides and the like that are to be held or moved relative to a location, particularly in connection with a hand-guided handling device that has a control switch. The apparatus includes a carrying frame to which are linked upper hinge-bolt pairs for respective superimposed pairs of parallel rods, which are detachably attached by pairs of lower hinge-bolts to a connection piece for gripping elements. A pair of struts, each of which is linked to one lower hinge-bolt, is jointly attached in articulated fashion to a control bolt centrally adjustable between the rods in a guide slot on the carrying frame.
