Thanks for your reply. If I've learned anything in my old age it is to focus. So, I am only interested in old US made (At present anyway). What got me interested in locking pliers is an old pair of Channel Lock locking pliers. I've used Channel Lock all my life and never knew they ever made...

I'd like to share what I have learned recently about these Griplock Pliers. One, the only relation they have to Peterson is that Pete may have been instrumental in forcing them out of business in 1929. There were several jaw types and mine is different from Nele's pair. Having only been made...

The adjustment "Nut" is worn smooth so it's a bit testy to use it. The tool is quite usable with little wear. Unfortunately there is owners inits on both sides. I have it locked down on a 3/8 nut at present. Modern day vise grips are much easier to use.

Hi! My name is Dave and I have a pair of the Griplock pliers. Norfolk Neb. does not seem a likely place where anything was manufactured, especially 1926! Researching this tool brought me to The Garage Journal. I look forward to getting to know y'all. Mew member as of 9/30/16
