Nice! Thanks for the heads up.This is the pair of grabbers I use. Called Grip 'n Grab by a company named Ettore. It actually intended to be an accessibility tool. Made of aluminum, very light weight, soft rubber grips in the tongs, head can swivel but only locks in on 90 degree angles. It comes in several different lengths and can pick up fairly heavy objects. I think I gave $23ish for mine from Lowe's Home Improvements.
Edit * to get the Ettore 34 inch grabber to Australia it will cost me over 60 dollars. 35 bucks for the grabber plus another 30 for delivery. Deal breaker. I'm just getting another pair of the 36 inch ones for 10 buck's locally. It is listed to pick up to 6 kg which is close to 15 lbs. The 2nd one in the photo above is the one I have. The Ettore lists 5 lbs and is 2 inches shorter. Nice that the head rotates but I can live without that. Sometimes I wish I was back in the USA. I can't even buy macroalgae or refugium starter kits because Australia won't allow import. I need Chaeto, not Caulerpa that does sell locally.
