They have gotten me out of trouble many many times -oh BTW my dad found my first vice grips on the road about 30 years ago and I still have them. They do a number on screw heads though, that's for sure. You usually can't use them again after turning to the VG. Here's some more of my metal tools. The offset ring spanners I bought at Aldi for $10 (made in India) and the 1/4 dr metric socket and bit set $24.00 at Aldi. Very well made Taiwan made set. Both reside in the boot of my car.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
