Cemetery tongs lifting 800 pound headstone base

Cemetery gongs to lift headstones, gravestones, concrete slabs, pavers, blocks, bricks... They work much like tongs used to move blocks of ice.

This is cool! But I still like nylon slings better. This would be great for moving things long distance as long as it doesn’t lose grip when you hit a bump or something

I have seen those Tongs in one of your earlier videos before you fabbed this. They look like a set of brick tongs I've had for years. Very handy tool indeed.

Okay now this is good welding and ingenuity.

Only time will tell if the welding is good. My welding skills were rusty and my welder old. I can drill holes though!

Greg we just saw your story on the news and were wondering where you came up with that very specific name "A Good Cemeterian" ?

[@agoodcemeterian]

just a play on words. when you do something out of the kindness of your heart without seeking payback you are a Good Samaritan. Sa·mar·i·tan /səˈmerətn/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. a charitable or helpful person) I just happen to perform that function in cemeteries. Additionally, the newspaper added that description without my input. BTW: I just Googled your name and understand why you are asking. Thank you for the service you perform!
