Vice Grip Toolbox
on: July 04, 2011, 05:14:26 AM
Hello, I have lost my beloved Vise Grip Toolbox 5WR and my search for a new one led me to this site...Does anyone have one they'd like to sell?  Let me know your price.  I use it every day and it is greatly missed.  Thank you!

Mike

Welcome to MultiTool.org. I must say, that is a tough one to replace due to its rarity these days. I have been looking for one for a good 2.5 years to no avail.

With that said, I just checked on eBay and there is one, a Schrade...go figure. Of course they don't ship to Canada.

Go for it if you wish.

Yea, I saw that...I already have one of those and one of the large-jaw vice grips also.   But the small jaw one is perfect for what I use it for....

Wow, thats a long time to look for one....good luck to you. 

I did give one to a friend as a gift a while back....would it be tacky to offer to buy it from him??

They are hard to find up here in Canada. Of course, I wasn't collecting when they were being sold in stores...so I get to dig around and hope for the best if one ever does turn up.

On the plus side, I found an eBay seller who stole some of my photographs for his listing. So in looking to help you, I caught a thief of sorts that I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Your call on the friend. :)

I'd ask my friend if I was you. But that's just me.
