Paired adjustably closable arcuate jaws are relatively swingably mounted on an end of a stiff shaft of waist-height length (e.g. thirty to forty inches). The jaws are of a size, and are spring-biased, for gripping and lifting cans, bottles, ears of corn and other small cylindrical objects. The tips of the jaws can be rounded, but preferably are provided with large low-friction rollers, so as to be cammed open when pressed against the object being grasped. The shaft desirably has a cylindrical handle grip on its upper end. The grip may be partly or fully removable or displaceable to expose a pointed shaft end for picking-up penetratable objects. Also the shaft end can be threaded for detachable reception in an axial socket in the end of an extension rod. Further, the shaft may carry, at its opposite ends, pickup devices differently sized and/or adjusted for grasping objects of different sizes and/or weights. The upper end of the shaft can be sharply pointed to be used as a pickup device for spearing easily penetratable objects. The pointed end is desirably covered by a removable or displaceable hand-grip part, and has an exposed shaft portion threaded for connection thereto of an extension rod of one or more sections.
