Vice Grip Tools

[Mike 56]

Yesterday i went to a gun show and found two Vice Grip tools for sale. A 6LC Toolbox that came with a sheath and a ST6 multi tool. I ended up buying both.



The ST6 did not have toolbox on the handle it has Schrade USA. The tools are also different than my 5WR and 6LG Toolbox tools.
It has:

Knife blade
Wood saw
Philip screw driver
Bottle opener
Slotted screwdriver/Scraper
Small slotted screwdriver/Chisel

Someday I would like to find a new one.

Very nice!   

On a related note, I recently bought some auto-locking vise grips and they are fantastic.

You can just grab things directly. No need to adjust the jaw width first. 

Mine are a little different, but here is a pic:

Great pick ups Mike  .
I think you basically have them all now

The ST6 is quite hard to find. I'm not sure if ebay is still selling those.

I love vice-grips!

I also like Vice Grips i use them all the time. I always wanted a pair Lock Jaw pliers. I have the craftsmen self adjusting pliers and i like them. max6166 pliers also look interesting. I think it would be cool if Schade would make 4WR Toolbox.

Nice tools you got there, Mike!

I really like the visegrip multi line

Nice grab Mike 56!   By the way, there is some blabbering about the Schrade ST6 here on the Multitool Encyclopedia: http://multitool.sosakonline.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=ST6+Tough+Grip

Thanks  for the link. I guess mine is a ST6H. I paid 50.00 for the pair and they came with one sheath. They are both in like new condition. I have had a eye out for both of them for a while now. I am a happy camper.

That's a good price for the pair. Congrats, they are getting rather difficult to find.

Does anyone know if another company makes something comparable?

The Craftsmen pliers i have posted above are self locking. I think the Lock Jaw pliers are nicer a long time ago i saw them at Sears and i believe you can still find them on EBay and Amazon.

I don't know if this will help, but mine look completely identical to the Lockjaw pliers but are sold under the Benchmark name at Home Hardware stores here in Canada.

I was looking at yours and they look interesting. I have not seen them here in the states they look almost like regular Vice Grips except they are self locking. Do you have to open the jaws all the way frist to get them to self adjust like the Craftsmen.
