If you edc a medium SAK, (like the Tinker), rather than a pliers-based multi tool, which would you find to be the more useful companion piece: a small crescent wrench or a small vise grips, and why?
I'd say neither. My recommendation is a pair of 6 inch slipjoint pliers. I carry a pair of Channel Lock Brand ones.
I'd go with the small vise grips. MUch more versatile. Cam be used a pliers, or as a wrench for bolts, or a clamp to hold something. Small vise grips rule. Three tools in one.
I'll throw one out here. Which of these two would I get more mileage out of: the small long nose vice grips or a pair of lineman pliers?

Some vice grips have wire cutters on them. That would probably be the best route. If you was cutting copper all of the time and bending wire all the time, then Linesman pliers. Nate
Welcome! glad you decided to make it official - it is a great site isn't it?
Great post but is it practical to carry a 4 inch vise grips in your pocket?
