Andrew HenryMother-in-law has a bunch of vise-grips she is trying to give away.
You make me think I can’t have too many vise-grips.
Roger Moore@AndrewHenry @ai6yr
Vise-grips are like duct tape: seductive but usually wrong. They can solve some immediate problems, but at the cost of long-term problems. That's fine if you're going to throw away the stuff you used them on when you're done, but you'll curse them later if you aren't.

Bill@VATVSLPR @AndrewHenry @ai6yr Hey now, don't be down on duct tape like that. I'm an engineer over here, and I know the Rule of Movement: if it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, WD-40. /s
@Sempf @AndrewHenry @ai6yr
The problem with duct tape is that it won't keep that thing from moving for the long term. The adhesive in duct tape will dry out and crack before you know it. That's OK if you only need a short-term fix, but it sucks if you're left with the same problem, and now the thing that moves and shouldn't is covered in duct tape residue.

SarcastiCanadian@Sempf. I always thought this rule was if it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape; if it doesn't move and it should, hammer.
