Irwin Vice Grips Have It Held Down

When it comes to multi-function tools in the workshop, having a pair of pliers that doubles as a hand-held vice is invaluable for any craftsman looking to increase the efficiency of space as well as avoid buying more hand tools than necessary.

The perfect tool for this type of usage is a pair of Vice Grips by Irwin tools.  Vice Grips work much like an adjustable wrench that locks into place one the appropriate size is set.  But unlike an adjustable wrench, the Vice grips give a firm hold on the object you’re working on.  The Vice Grips wrench also doubles as a mini vice or clamp that is perfect for those time when both hands are need while holding a small object in place.  I can’t count how many times this little trick has worked for me when I didn’t have a a vice around or when the shop vice is just too much for the job.
