I haven't been following this thread closely, but did anyone mention
vise-grips? (The real ones, if you can still find them.) All sorts of
uses, including crimping off pipes, temporary valve handles, skinning
doorknobs to break in without totally trashing door, removing stripped
nuts on bike axles, holding a broken roof rack together till you get
home, and of course clamping things together. Plus about a zillion other
uses. I'm sure the regulars on here could come up with a long list of
the off-label uses where vise-grips have saved their proverbial ass. I
keep at least one pair in every tool box, for when regular
wrenches/pliers just won't cut it.
