Irwin LOCKING WRENCH 7

I found a great use for my locking wrench - pulling staples that were used to affix carpet to the floor. Just cut and pull up the carpet. It leaves hundreds of staples in the floor. Just adjust so the clamp is slightly narrower than the staple and then clamp on the staple and roll it away from you using the side w/ the radius.

I have owned Vise Grips since the early 1960s. I own a number of sizes and types. One pair I modified with a steel ball and sleeve to dimple sheet metal. I used it often when doing auto body work to hide rivets. My newest one a 7LW is amazing. I was going to order 10LW also but the 7LW fits 7/16” to 3/4” hex fasteners which covers most of my work. It will be perfect for brake work. If I worked on farm/construction equipment I would purchase the 10LW for hydraulic lines/hoses. The LWs hold tight and don't mar fittings. And something none of my other Vise Grips have, a 4mm hex socket on the end of the adjustment knob. Don't know why??
