USA Vice-Grips @ Pawn Shop

Saw these made in USA Vice-Grips at a local pawn shop today:

Are these of any particular value? I know Vice-Grips are no longer produced in the USA. These are all new in original packaging. There were maybe 7 sets of 6LNs in perfect condition for $12 each. The two packs were $24.

Any thoughts?

Not a bad price. The new Chinese ones go for about $10-12 a piece. Cheaper in bigger sets of course. So for NOS US that's not bad.

Great price for new if you need those ones. Personally those are less useful varieties.

Crazy. Couldn't hardly use them if you paid that much could ya?

Go back & buy all of them now. Save the ones you'll use down the line and sell the others here on the forum.

So essentially, this not a very exciting find.. I had heard that the USA made Vice-Grips were significantly better than what IRWIN is currently selling. ah well..

I don't think I have the energy to engage in ebay arbitrage this week.

Thanks for the feedback pals.

that is quite the find.

I would have bought a couple of the 6LN's for myself. Not a player on the curved jaw. I prefer straight jaw and long nose models myself for the most versatility.

Go back and buy them all.

 

[JAKE-THE-TOOL-MAN]

I agree with the others, I would have bought them all

I can pick up used vise grips easily at garage sales for $1- $3! I don't even pick them up anymore because i have so many. There are plenty of usa ones around
