The basics of locking pliers (and locking clamps and locking wrenches).
When you need an extra set of hands (or an extra few sets of hands) with a really tight grip, locking tools are the help you need.
But not all Vise-Grips are the same -- here we see a few different jaw styles and go over why you might want one vs the other. Then we go over how these things do what they do. Plus a few tips on using them that you may not know!

"Squoozen" In my years on this planet, I've never heard that one before 😂 I like that you go over the intricacies of the tools, not just "this is for that". Keep it up 👍

It's a callback to Milhouse on The Simpsons (from the episode in the 1990s where he has a lemonade stand and at some point is like "We've squozen our whole supply! To the lemon tree!"). "Squozen" just became part of the vernacular of my friends and me, I guess!

I just bought 3 Crescent Vise Grips for $25.00 at Tractor Supply recently.

Wow I've owned a number of video grips but I've only ever had/seen the "traditional" toothed ones. I would ruin a lot less shower head elbow pipes if I had a set of smooth jawed vise grips.
