Default Best Pliers or Vice Grips (or similar tool?)

Hello,

I'm trying to remove my garden hose from the faucet on the side of my
house, but it won't budge. It's rusted on I think, and I'm having a
hard time getting a "grip" on it to twist it off. This brings me to my
question. What is the best "Multi-Use" tool for jobs like this?
Adjustable wrenches just don't have the "grip". Adjustable Pliers will
work, but Vice Grips permit you to "clamp" the hose. I've seen other
such multi-purpose "tools" offered on TV from time to time, but I'm
interested in getting a tool that is the most flexible, and durable,
and versatile for these types of jobs. How about it? Does anyone have
a brand, or make, of a tool like this that they just love and couldn't
live without?

Thanks.
