Tricked-out Vise Grips

Who'da thunk this tool could be improved?

Not moi.

But the iteration up top sure looks tempting.

"Made in the U.S. by Vise-Grip®, this is a 10R model, a heavy-duty tool, much stronger than the look-alikes in the market. Same construction as the original Vise Grips, only with a polymer-covered handle for a non-slip, cushioned grip. 10" long when adjusting screw is fully extended with 1-5/8" open capacity; weighs 1-1/4 lb."

But wait, there more!

"Limited stock, manufacturer's close-out."

These will sell out in a bookofjoe minute for $9.50.

Fair warning.
