| It's a scissor device with two pressure pads on each side of the granite
slab with the other end attached to a hoist or a folk lift. What is this
tool called and where can I get one?

They are called lifting tongs. Grainger may have them, I
think. Otherwise, look here;

If you don't do this a lot, C-clamps are more generally useful.

| Thanks Robert and Richard for the feedback. I've looked up the lifting tongs
and its way too pricy for occasioal use as its well over my $100 budget.
Don't know why so much but looks like it could be frabricated in a half an
hour or so. The C-clamps is a great idea too.
