Any experience with VISE-GRIPLocking Wrench?
This Vise Grips has 1 jaw with 2 smooth surfaces at 60 degrees to each
other and a smooth opposing surface: http://www.amazon.com/Tools-VISE-GRI.../dp/B00004SBBD In theory it seems like it would be very good for holding rounded off hex heads/nuts. But is it really that much better than plain 'ole toothed jaws Vise Grips? And enough better to justify a dedicated tool? I guess its real advantage is getting a _tight_ grip on hex without marring any surfaces. Face it - hardly any wrench fits a hex head/nut/fitting without a little slop. Mostly because the hex is undersize. Anybody own one? Bob |
