Found my vise grips!

Rummaging thru the garage looking for my cut off tool, I started turning up some of my missing vise grip clamps. Now I realize this doesn't rival Bomp's hammer collection but these are only the ones I could find and I have at least another 10 pair at work so... Lets see your ridiculous pile of a single type of tool, I bet this will be fun!

My enemy are screwdrivers. I buy a handful every 6 months and lose every single one by the time I'm ready to buy a new handful. I think I will blame my boys for this.

My dad used to blame me for missing tools. I went out to his garage a few months ago and the bench was a mess and the tools were no where to be found. It is apparent that the problem wasn't me!

Re: Found my vise grips!

Just curious

How many are the original “Vice-Grips”, and how many are the newer version “Irwin-Vice-Grips”

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Re: Found my vise grips!

I don't know if this really counts, but mine is straps. Before I had a toolbox on my truck, I would always forget to take straps when I went to get stuff, so I'd buy another set on the road. Probably have fifty.

I have a Vise-Grip clamp fetish also. I'll post a pick when I get home over the Thanksgiving holiday. Pliers are my other addiction.
