Looks like it was made from two Gras bayonets. As for not handling anything heavy.... the "leverage" afforded by the thumb piece would be to open the tongs, not to grasp something. To do that one would have to squeeze them together ahead of the pivot point and then they might be strong enough.

However, I have no idea what it would be for.
