I have a cheap HF one in my garage and it works fine but I need like 2 more. One multi axis adjustable for my drill press, and one for my safe room workbench.

Another harbor freight special one here. But even that one cost more than I thought they would.
That said, it has been great for the last 7ish years I've had it.

Wilton in the shop.
I have a very old one sitting at home I need to clean up. Either 10 or 12" US made and extremely heavy.
Co worker at old shop was going to scrap it so I gave him 20 bucks for it.

Honestly I don't have anywhere to put it currently and don't always have a need for one.

I can’t hotline from mobile, but this is the one that came with the house. I should probably take it apart and take a wire wheel to it and paint it and lube it, but that’s dead last on the list of shit I need to do.

These are the only vise grips I use!
Hah this came up on my workout schedule this week and the workout is called "14 Vise Grips" so.. it made me laugh thinking about this thread.
