Q: How does this tool grip the slab?
Each hook of this paver lifter slides under the edge of the slab and catches it there, so two people can lift straight up together instead of prying at a paver's edge by hand.
XD310 - SlabSetters, pkg of 4

If you’ve ever installed or removed heavy masonry slabs such as patio stones, pavers or flagstones, you know what a miserable task it can be. Hooked under the edges of the slab, these simple aids let you lift from a comfortable height without stooping, and keep your fingers well out of harm’s way when setting it in position.
Supplied as a package of four, the 23 1/2" long hooks allow two people to raise and carry the slab securely using the sturdy injection-molded plastic handles for reliable grip. Made in Canada from strong, rigid 3/16" diameter steel rod, they save time and effort, reducing the risk of back strain and injury when lifting slabs up to 300 lb.
Each hook of this paver lifter slides under the edge of the slab and catches it there, so two people can lift straight up together instead of prying at a paver's edge by hand.
They're built for two people lifting together, one hook pair on each side of the slab. A single person can still hook one edge but won't get the same balanced lift two people working together would.
A set of four hooks, used as two pairs, is rated for slabs up to 300 lb, which covers most standard paver, patio stone and flagstone sizes.
They're made from 3/16" steel rod with injection-molded plastic handles, a combination built to take the strain of repeated lifting without bending.
