After my old gripper has given up the ghost after many years had to be something new. So a folding gripper would not be bad, but this is just not good to handle. It is not very stable, bend slightly and the folding mechanism is not "exactly brilliant". I trust myself only slight things from higher realms to grab cans z. B. are already taboo. But one has at home every now and things for such a gripper can be used.
