Rebar is a much cheaper alternative to experiment with. You'll have lots of "adjsutments" to make after you do the prototype. Such as contact shape in the "Jaws", width/height of gap/opening, hardy positioning for best effect, etc.
Probably wind up makeing several different sizes for different applications and rebar should work just fine.
