Good video, thanks for sharing. The Rapter Claw looks ideal for carrying buckets and other heavy objects. The ability to use your hand inbetween the claws is an excellent feature. I use grip aids in the gym, and there is a similar single, wide metal hook for performing farmer's carry, dead lifts and the like. Where they would be dangerous, is in performing pull ups or pull downs, as you are unable to disengage at the end of the exercise. My only gripe with the Raptor Claw would be using it on finish ply or drywall, where it would probably damage the edge of the material.
Over the years I've tried all these. I like the simple Stanley carrier best. BUT since have to bend over to pick up sheet goods and carry it high both risk hurting your back. So simple solution. Add 6-12" extensions to the Stanley carrier. Now don't' have to bend so much and carry drywall/plywood just few inches off floor. Problem solved. Now what I really need is a panel carrier but it works sideways, ie, if drywall is vertical, not flat, and 8' edge on the floor, the carrier grips the 4' edge to lift few inches to put Stanley under it.
Loved the video, the Wraptor claws look really useful and cool.

Good thinking!
have any wraptor claws left ? amazon doesn’t carry them anymore
Have you tried using a combo? i.e. fivepears + stanley panel carrier with a rope to pull the stanley upward (to lock the lower edge)
No I never have, but that seems interesting. If you have a picture of how this looks that would be awesome.
