Gripping devices are tools designed to hold or manipulate objects securely. They come in various forms, such as clamps, grippers, and pliers, and are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and everyday tasks. These devices enhance the user's ability to grasp items firmly, reducing the risk of dropping or damaging them. Many gripping devices are engineered to accommodate different shapes and sizes, making them versatile for various applications. For instance, robotic grippers are used in automation to handle delicate components, while handheld tools like vise grips provide a strong hold for manual tasks.
