Vice grips/Mole wrenches


Recommended Posts


Getting together a "care" package for youngDylan.

  • Tower computer
  • Hossfeld bender
  • cheap Chinese mole wrenches (long)
  • cheap Chinese Beverly shear knock-off
  • picture of a great Acorn table (sorry, real one won't fit in box)
  • case of Spam
  • Webster Dictionary
  • What else?


.....100T screwpress ...... though I would settle for for a 30T

.....Flypress with a wheel for a flywheel as opposed to flyballs (you've already noted the pipe lagging on mine)

Actually I've got one of the knock off Beverley shears. Had to do quite a bit of fettling to get it usable. It's stood up well so far but there again it rarley gets used. I've knocked up myself a Hossfeld frame and some of the simple formers but some of the more complicated ones are beyond me. It a wonderful tool to have,I keep humming and haaing about rigging a hydraulic cylinder to it .... but there's only 24 hours in day.

......hmmmmm ........."comes out of the closet" has another meaning over here

I'll settle for just the expanding floor space.

Has anyone ever discovered a use for these abominations? They don't work as: spanners, tongs, pliers, stillsons and nor are they much use as welding clamps.
Why do people buy them?
Why are they still sold?


Since when do they not work for welding clamps? I have been arc and mig welding for too many years and i have a whole 4 inch deep drawer devoted to my vise grips, body blocks, and body hammers...i must have about 30 of the things....they work like a charm for me.
