Turn Any Pair of Pliers Into Vise-Grips®

© Robert Formisano 2006

Need a "vise-grip" and don't have one? Need to clamp something but don't have a free hand? Well, all you need is duct tape and you can turn any set of pliers into a clamping pliers.
  • Just tightly squeeze the handle of the pliers on what you want to clamp while at the same time wrap the handles together with duct tape.
  • I'm not saying you can free a rusty bolt and nut, but you can clamp things.
