Abstract
A grasping device including an elongated body with a first end and a second end, the first end of the elongated body having a cammed lever for pulling a wire. The wire extends through a first jaw having a first end and a second end, and attaches to a second jaw having a first end and a second end; the two jaws are connected by pins that allow sliding motion of the second end of the second jaw towards the second end of the first jaw in response to a pull of the wire. A casing slidably retains the pull wire, so that pulling of the wire with the cammed lever will pull the second jaw towards the first jaw while the casing remains stationary against the first jaw.
