IMHO it theoretically doesn't need a HOG assist but practically does. I
have about a 1 in 5 success rate using that grabber (its the same
grabber as in 4549 or in the crane service parts pack)
I plan to use the rubber feet that come with the grabber to do something
larger with technic parts to more securely grasp containers. I won't be
the first to come to that conclusion, although I can't think offhand of
who has spoken about it before.
