I love your channel. The attention to small details and covering the whole range in the specific type of tools makes your videos interesting and comprehensive.
Great video! When using the locking chain vise grip, I find it easier and quicker to set up if you run the extra chain along the moving jaw (where the chanel is) instead of pivoting the chain back like you did.
Thank you!!! That nut busting vise grip is EXACTLY the tool I need, over and over again. Excellent information. If you had a shopping link here, I would definitely buy them through your portal. Truly grateful.
The locking clamp that you couldn't make the name out is Destaco. They are still being made today. I believe they were/are pretty popular in the aircraft industry. I have a bunch and I hardly ever use them.
Ive found the needle nose vice grip to be very handy. Use them second only to my channel locks. I kept telling myself that i was going to chop the jaws shorter for more pinch/ twisting strength. Havent tried it yet though.
Structural steel welder here. We use vise grips all the time. But if we need a heavier duty clamp we use bessey F clamps. You can get besseys in all different lengths and thicknesses and you can clamp the ever living F out of something. We clamp beams to sawhorses so they dont fall over. Super versatile and strong. Very useful in more than just welding
I've never done a C-clamp review and comparison I should because they're also structural c-clamps you use a wrench and they have heavy duty forged bodies. Yes bessey clamps are very nice I am familiar with their bar clamps
The vice you did not know the make off is actually made by Knu Vice, common in sheet metal shops and excellent for pressure they can maintain. Its missing the release lever, not all knu vice clamps require the lever. The smaller knu vice clamps are invaluable for their abilities to fit into small spaces.
The offset on the fixed side of chain clamp is for the tail of the chain to pass back through the clamp. In other words your supposed to loop the chain, completely round your object, then back on itself and then clamp. You’re not supposed to fold the chain backwards like you were demonstrating.

Thank you so much for your comment
At 08:20 manufacturer is De-Sta-Co. Looks like model #474. I use them in a very specific application.

Catus Maximus ever heard of an optical center punch for more accurate center punching?
If you use long screwdriver against driver seat to hold brake pedal it won't leak when you disconnect lines make sure pedal is all the way down
Thank you for that handy tip
This was an excellent video with the perfect level of detail. Thank you!

Are the new Irwin made Vise Grips as good as the original ones that were made in the USA?

8:06 I think that's the Japanese style made by the Kakuta company.
its shame there are no branded locking pliers here in europe
also you can get only the basic ones
you're missing an oddball duralast parrot nose chrome plated vice grips
Indeed I am, probably because I have some pipe pliers as you will soon see
WOW i’ve never seen the tubbing crimpers, thanks for adding to my knowlage base. Not too hard ...i know 😂
Yes there's a surprising variety of vice grips that were made over the years
