I purchased this at a thrift store mainly because I wanted to know why they have a moving upper jaw unlike vise-grips.

Id say because they are broken

As noted, they're broken.

Yep, it looks like the weld gave out.

Ok, thanks. Anyone need parts for theirs? If not I may try to weld them.

Do they still make those? Id turn them in for a new set.

I just thought of the same thing it's Craftsman I'll take tem in next time I go to sears.

I buy craftsman stuff at the flea market all the time. I have a drawer full of new craftsman stuff from turning it in.

I do the same with screwdrivers all the time. When I was there I got a Snap-on #2 x 4" Phillips for .10 cents because it had a broken tip.
