In livestock operations, tools are more than helpful… they’re essential. Whether you're working in a farrowing barn, a poultry house, or a small livestock facility, you need gear that performs without excuses.

That’s why QC Supply built the DURAGRABBER™ to meet the demands of real agricultural work. We don’t just sell to this industry. We’re part of it.

Made for Daily Use in Ag Environments

The DURAGRABBER™ is a specialized animal handling tool designed to give livestock operators better control, improved safety, and less hassle during daily tasks. With a total length of 37 inches and a 3 1/4-inch jaw opening , it’s sized right for use in swine and poultry environments , as well as small animal handling setups.

The DURAGRABBER™ construction is no accident. The body is made from cast aluminum with a titanium-magnesium blend to keep it lightweight and strong. Inside, aircraft-grade stainless steel cables deliver performance you can trust. The rubber-coated arms and exposed grabber tips ensure a firm grip while protecting animals from bruising or pinching.

DURAGRABBER™ has earned its place in barns across the country because it works. It’s not over-engineered or overly complex. It’s the kind of tool you reach for because it gets the job done.

Protect Your Animals. Protect Your Team.

If you’ve worked in farrowing barns, you know the drill. Piglets aren’t always easy to catch , and reaching into crates or trying to guide them by hand can lead to bites, scratches, and fatigue . The DURAGRABBER™ lets you move animals efficiently while keeping your team safer.

The same goes for poultry operations . Trying to reposition birds quickly without harming them, or yourself, isn’t easy. This tool gives you the reach and control to do it right.

Reducing animal stress during handling doesn’t just make the job easier. It contributes to better outcomes for the animals , too. Less scrambling. Fewer injuries. Better handling.

Top Benefits of the DURAGRABBER

  • Lightweight design reduces fatigue during long shifts

  • Strong grip helps minimize animal stress and injury

  • Durable construction stands up to daily agricultural use

  • Easy to operate with gloves thanks to pistol-style handle

  • Trusted by producers, vets, and animal handlers nationwide

Every Detail Built for the Barn

The DURAGRABBER™ isn’t just functional… it’s built for the conditions you actually work in.


The 37-inch length offers ergonomic reach, whether you’re leaning into a pen or working from outside a crate. The pistol-style grip is shaped to fit your hand even with gloves on, and the rubber arms on the jaws hold without cutting or bruising.


There are no exposed cables, pulleys, or fragile mechanics to gunk up or break on The DURAGRABBER™. That’s by design. We know what it’s like when tools fail mid-shift, and we don’t want this one to.


Its bright red, powder-coated finish adds visibility and corrosion resistance. When you drop it in the straw or rest it against a wall, you’ll be able to find your DURAGRABBER™ again.

Trusted by Operators. Backed by QC Supply.

DURAGRABBER™ was built for everyday use in livestock operations . That’s why it continues to be trusted by swine and poultry producers across the country.

At QC Supply , we stand behind the tools we make. We work closely with producers and field teams to make sure our products meet the real demands of agriculture — not just specs on paper. DURAGRABBER™ reflects that commitment.

Built to Carry the DURA Name

Every product in our DURA™ line is made with one goal in mind: long-term performance in demanding agricultural environments. From the thick glass and brass base of the DURABulb™ to the rugged simplicity of the DURAGRABBER™ , these tools are built for people who don’t have time for replacements.

DURAGRABBER™ fits right in. It carries the same commitment to quality that runs through everything in the DURA lineup. These aren’t just products. They’re reliable parts of your operation , built to deliver value season after season.

The DURAGRABBER™ was built for everyday work in livestock environments . It sees regular use in farrowing barns where piglets need to be guided, relocated, or checked quickly and safely.

It’s also a valuable tool for managing broiler and layer houses , especially when precision handling is required.

Operations that care for young goats, sheep, or other small animals often keep a DURAGRABBER™ on hand for sorting and moving animals without added stress. It’s just as useful in commercial greenhouses , where small wildlife or strays occasionally need to be handled safely without injury.

Animal shelters, vet clinics, and even university ag programs have found this tool helpful for its control and safety.

Wherever you need reach and reliability , this tool delivers.
