I really like vise-grips. Only problem is, I loaned my only pair. It was small enough to fit my hand, but it seems to have become extremely convenient for the borrower.
I priced one the other day of the same size. *gasp*
Sometimes you can buy a whole set of them. Now may be a good time to look.
Let’s see, one to gift wrap for this person, one for that, and one to keep. Shopping done!
