I think I will make a new set of tongs. I don't have any that will grab something as flat as a leaf and hold well other than a rather large set that just isn't good for retrieval from the fire. The idea of clamping the tongs and leaving it clamped sounds like the best option for my situation with my hands the way they are... Been thinking about making some new tongs... now I have a reason... May still get me a set of those long needle nose pliers as well, couldn't hurt...

Thanks guys
