Like Petej80, I am looking for something like this too. I'm in New Zealand and we also get absolutely shafted on tool prices here. I think our NZ dollar and petej80's dollaredoos are almost the same when converted to USD. I would be gobsmacked if I ever saw anyone buy one of those Milwaukee...

I don't hate it. I think it's a good invention. And once you decide who you are going to market it to, you can target your audience better. If your target is tradesmen and pro's - you need to do honest comparisons as others have mentioned. Or keep your current angle that looks like you want to...

I wear a 3m respirator helmet, leather jacket and spats for my boots. That pretty much covers it doesn't it? I haven't tried anything in regard to cleaning the vise grips yet. Also have a bunch of big c clamps that have the threads all gunked up too. I wasn't sure if paint stripper was a good...

Thank you I'll try it and let you know how I get on Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi guys long time lurker here from New Zealand. I've started a new job welding galvanised steel and I have about 15 vise grips that have accumulated years of anti spatter and galv spray all over them. Some I can't do all the way up tight. What do you guys think is the best way to clean them up...
