Actually, it does have a grab type of mechanism. A small pneumatic cylinder actuates it to grab ringers, and it can grab it with one of the claws on the outside and one on the inside, or both on the inside and just open to hold the ringer from the inside. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about with 2 joints, since it's three, and they're all independently operated...so yeah. I should get some sleep..lol
