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.

Gabriel NJoe walks down the aisle of a hardware store, and cover his ears before passing by the duct tape section.
— Hey handsome! Let’s go repair something together.
Croons a particularly large roll of tape.
The siren sounds of duct tape
Luring people in
Make them want to wrap stuff up
Leading to a life of sin
Strapping stuff together
With cloth, plastic, glue
It's all fine and dandy
You can even fix your shoe
It all seems to be working
No need for bolts or screws
Til you have a sudden failure
And your shoes you lose
Now I hear you can duct tape
Your broken bumper now
Still one day in the future
It'll still fall off, POW!
Their seductive rolls beckon
Fix everything thing with me
Alas another year in the sun
And it's broken again, see!

Back in the before times, when you could go to a hardware store without fearing deportation and without checking their policies on a variety of social and ethical issues, i once noted there were about six grades of duct tape ranging from the cheapest of the cheap to better than gorilla tape.
