A pick up device having a shank with a handle on one end and a jaw assembly on the other. The jaw assembly includes a fixed jaw and a movable jaw, the movable jaw having a pair of jaw operating arms that can be moved to open and close the jaw member. A spring is connected to one jaw operating arm and a link is connected to the other jaw operating arm, and the two are interchangeable so the jaw can be normally open or normally closed. The link is operated from the handle. In one form of the invention, the shank can telescope, and the operating is through a cable that can be extended.
