No it didn't, it came from Petersen Mfg Co's trademarked "Vise-Grip" clamps,
that used William Petersen's patent of Jan 5 1923.

Petersen's product was the 'Vise-Grip' locking pliers. The remenents
of his original company and the 'Vise-Grip' name eventually beame part
of Irwin (which is owned by Newell Rubbermaid).

I tried the rubber version of vise grips. They don't work well at
all.

Get steel instead.


Of course they didn't, because they were sold in toy stores and made
for kids, ten and under.
