Have seen a few homemade on here and looked at few bought ones.
Hadnt seen any with tube grapples. Is there some reason that arms wouldn't as strong are work as well if made from schedule 40 or 80 pipe? Would think it would easier and maybe cheaper than have steel cnc cut. Harbour freight sells a pipe bender pretty cheap. The ends of the grapples could even be fitted with teeth. Would 1 1/2" pipe be strong enough. I would think it would be lighter.
