Here in Kentucky, Vice Grips Are a standard replacement part for doors
in Ye Olde Truck. Replaces; Window crank handles, Lock knobs, Latch
handles and when the latch completely falls out, Tie a piece of rope
or leather belt to the door and use the Vice Grips to attach the other
end to the seat or the dash or a concrete block that you know will not
roll around and dump your kids out on the road when you make a left
turn. The Vice Grips are much quicker to release than trying to untie
that Boy Scout knot when your carburetor catches fire.
It's a matter of safety.
Practicing safe gripping everywhere.
