The 'Vise Grips' System

Vice grips are a satisfying tool to have around. When you need to grip something that has a weird shape or just don't feel like digging around for the right wrench, the adjustable vice grip will do the job. If you're making something pretty, be careful, the jaws are powerful and can leave grooves on the surface of the thing you're gripping! Photo courtesy of Irwin, creator of the original vice grip.
