A tool (10) for handling a long and heavy object (12), in particular a wind turbine rotor blade, comprises a clamping unit which can be fixed to the rotor blade. The clamping unit has a first clamp (14) and a second clamp (16) spaced from the first clamp (14) with respect to the longitudinal direction of the object. A first rod unit (20) is rotatably coupled to the first clamp (14) of the clamping unit at a first coupling site and coupled to a traverse (32). A second rod unit (22) is rotatably coupled to the second clamp (16) of the clamping unit at a second coupling site and coupled to the traverse (32) by means of a rope (34). The length of the rope section between the second rod unit (22) and the traverse (32) being adjustable by a winch (36).
