And yet another use for Vise Grips

The gearshifter guide on my snowblower worked it's way loose today... no problem!

When I was in high school, my Latin teacher had vice grips on her gear selector and both door handles. My brother broke the gear shift lever on his Honda 50 on his way back to University and used a vice grip to replace it. (He also taped two flashlight batteries together when his battery failed. It was enough to run the ignition.)

Vise- Grips are a required item for Ford Super Duty's and older Dodge Cummin's manual transmissions. You can still shift gears when the gear stick beaks off at the ******

They are handy to clamp onto a battery terminal and then clamp your jumper cables or battery charger cables to. If the battery is in a tight spot.

I never thought of doing that.... that's a great idea!

Late 70's a pair of needle nose vise grips was the knob on my parent's TV. The brass shaft had snapped leaving only a short stub. Vise grips stayed there well into the late 80's when I inherited the TV.

TV is now gone but the vise grips now reside in my tool box.

Had a pair of Vise Grips as a seat recliner handle on an S-10 I had. I once bought an old truck that had the negative battery cable Vise Gripped to the battery terminal post.

Replacement for broken levers or knobs, battery terminal clamp, improvised handle for carrying awkward objects.....and my favorite:
Used to drive past the Vise Grip plant in DeWitt NE several times every week.
There was some big gas meter on the east side with some vent pipes capped with flappers...imagine large weather caps used on tractor mufflers.
Whoever fabbed these up didn't get the counterweight right, so clipped a 10WR on each one to add weight.

Back in the day,I had a 1978 White Road Commander Cab Over Semi Tractor,its heater,fresh air vents were all cable operated.They had knobs attached with little clips dohickeys.Worthless! Little 4 in.vise grip,problem solved and what a little lube would be good too,but hard to get behind the dash and all the **** to get to.If you needed the vise grip for something else,no need to dig thru stuff.
