a trigger at the handle end that is operably coupled to the grasping end and is operable to move the moveable grasping extension toward the fixed grasping extension; and
at least one accessory configured to be held between the grasping pad of the fixed grasping extension and the grasping pad of the moveable grasping extension, including a protrusion on a first side of the at least one accessory that fits into the recess of one of the grasping pads and a protrusion at an opposite side of the at least one accessory that fits into the recess of the other grasping pad.
