I'll have to double check but I think I have a set like those.

I have the same or similar Craftsman vise-grip clones. They do not appear to be made by Peterson; I wonder who made them?

Agreed, not Petersen. Based on the shape and the locations of the pins, I would say Seymour Smith, but they had pivoting jaws. Unless they made them for Sears & Roebuck (Craftsman) with these different, slightly curving jaws.

This has come up before: PARKER. There's a post somewhere.

I have about a dozen of them. They were terrible. With a single use, the teeth in the jaws rounded over. I exchanged a few when they did that and then eventually threw all of them in my "useless tools" drawer.

Better hurry and throw them up on FleaBay with a rare description... someone will gladly over pay for them

I get crazy on ebay. Sometimes i have way over payed for something, other times i have been shocked to see the value of junky stuff triple what I imaged. But for those of us interested in tools, it can be a great reference guide for photos, or descriptions. I just have to remember when I am doing research, and when i am shopping.
