I've been overhauling a 20 year old Yamaha ATV this winter. It's been in a marine environment for 15 years; lots of rusted and rounded-off bolt heads and nuts.

I saw this pair of vice grips at O'reilly's. Maybe they've been around for years, but i've never seen them.
They work unbelievably well, much better than the regular style vice grips.

I’ve never seen them. They are pretty cool looking. Can you post a picture of them closed?


Eh...wot?

I have a few of those. They grab pipe real well too. Harbor freight and Menards has them now too.

Looks like a real useful vise grip.
Never seen one but will be looking.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Parrot nose vice grips. You can get them in channel lock form too.

I can see them being useful getting a grip on trap stakes.

Must be generics. Irwin who makes vice grips have a slightly different design to their parrot nosed locking pliers.

Actual Vice Grip brand, or somebody else?

Those vice grips look handy for certain jobs. I'll be looking for some.


My Vice-Grip hack.
I modified the one on the bottom. I keep it in my boat. What I use it for is very temporary impromptu mooring.
When fishing I will clamp the vice grips to a branch or docking ring or any other thing handy and attach a line with a carabiner. Easy , simple , cheap and it works good.

Keystone air power still has them in stock. As does Harry Epstein in Kansas City.

I just brought up Harbor Freight and Menards sights and did not see them listed on their site don't know what to call them to make them come up.

Just checked harbor freight, they have a parrot nose slip joint pliers but no vice grip style, both Irwin and Vice Grip have a vice grip style for less then the one posted.
