Where has this bastard lovechild of a shifter and vise grip been all my life? And why is there only one brand and size?
Dogs-
Oh yeah, I've seen those, damn flash, and spendy. Life's too short to go without nice tools though - just ordered a 150mm pair.

I use their cobra wrench as my pocket size do anything grip. Can adjust the huge nuts on a four bar gate down to installing parts on the coffee machine.

My Knipex pliers came in the mail today. Wondering how long it'll be before they have a chance to get me out of a tight spot at work...

Just finished reading through the thread, noticed somebody linked the locking spanner on eBay a month ago. It was mentioned they make cassette tools way less fiddly, basically making the poofight on the right functionally identical to the sweetness on the left.
My cassette tool is a Lezyne thing that's a combo with a BB cup tool, think I've got another similar thing that's a combo of a couple of other tools, and the locking shifter (that's what us colonial types call an adjustable wrench) is a game changer; turns two separate tools into one.

Assimilating other tools like the Borg is just its everyday trick, but once in a while, being a vise grip with parallel jaws is just gob-smackingly awesome.
