A material handling tool comprising a longitudinal body provided with a proximate end and a distal end is described herein. The handling tool includes a vacuum jaw assembly so mounted to the distal end of the body as to be transversally movable; and a longitudinally movable jaw assembly so mounted to the longitudinal body as to be longitudinally movable between a retracted position where the movable jaw assembly is adjacent to the longitudinal body and an extended position where the movable jaw assembly faces the vacuum jaw assembly.
