The present invention is a self adjusting carrier tool that allows for the gripping, lifting, and carrying of objects. The tool is able to lift a large range of object widths without requiring large changes in tool height during operation. It accomplishes this through tongs retained by sliding friction-lock pivots acting against locking arms pivotally attached to opposing tongs. When the handle is lifted the action of these pivots allow the tongs to sweep a constant and effective angle against the the lifted object throughout the working range of the tool. At the limit of tong rotation the sliding friction-lock pivots engage and prevent any further movement of the tongs. Further lifting of the tool by the handle will then result in lifting of the tool and object together. The object will remain secured by the carrier tool until it is unloaded and the floating friction locks disengage.

A load lifting strap assembly for facilitating a pair of users to carry a heavy object includes a pair of poles that is each of the poles is positionable on opposite sides of an object to be carried by a pair of users. Each of the poles has an adjustable length to accommodate objects of various lengths. A first strap is coupled around each of the poles to support the object being carried. A second strap is coupled around each of the poles to support the object being carried. A third strap is coupled around each of the poles and the third strap can be extended over the object being carried for securing the object on the poles.

In certain aspects, devices and methods for moving a toilet are provided that can include an elongated member, a first engaging member, and a second engaging member. The engaging members can be coupled to the elongated member and extend radially away from the elongated member. The engaging members can include contact surfaces that are disposed distal to the elongated member and that are configured to engage the toilet. In other aspects, devices and methods for moving a toilet can include a handle, a first collar, and a second collar. The collars can be coupled to the handle and can be configured to slide along the handle in unlocked modes and to positionally secure along the handle in locked modes. The collars can be configured to receive and secure to one or more removable shackles.
