A versatile walking cane that has an adjustable length and a jaw-grip. The walking cane includes a trigger that can be actuated to mechanically operate the jaw-grip from an open to a closed position. In the closed position, the jaw-grip is retracted into the interior of the cane and does not obstruct the use of the cane for walking The cane includes an interface for receiving additional tools and an illumination source. 1. A walking cane comprising:an upper shaft and a lower shaft, the upper shaft and lower shaft configured to be slideably attached to create a cane shaft such that a length of the walking cane can be adjusted, and including a lock to fix the upper shaft and lower shaft into a position relative to each other;a handle attached to one end of the cane shaft, the handle including a trigger that can be actuated by applying a force to pull the trigger towards the handle;a jaw-grip that pivotally attaches proximate to an the end of the cane shaft distal from the handle, the jaw-grip being coupled to the trigger in such a manner that when the trigger is actuated, the jaw-grip moves to a first position and when the trigger is released, the jaw-grip moves to a second position;a tip positioned on the opposing end of the cane shaft from the handle, wherein the tip can be placed on a surface when the walking cane is used for supporting a walking user and, the jaw-grip does not obstruct the tip from engaging such surface.2. The walking cane of claim 1 , wherein the upper shaft and lower shaft include an interior and claim 1 , an interior diameter of the upper shaft is less than an exterior diameter of the lower shaft such that the upper shaft can be slid over the lower shaft.3. The walking cane of claim 2 , wherein the jaw-grip is pivotally attached to the lower shaft with a pin and claim 2 , a torsion spring biases the jaw-grip into a particular position.4. The walking cane of claim 3 , wherein the torsion spring biases the jaw-grip into an open position and claim ...
