Key Features

• Integrated LED Illumination: A bright LED light, strategically positioned at the claw, directly illuminates dark cavities, ensuring clear visibility of dropped fasteners and components in hard-to-reach areas.

• Controlled One-Hand Operation: A simple plunger-style handle allows technicians to precisely position, open, and close the claw with one hand, maintaining focus on the target while the integrated light illuminates the workspace.
