Mother-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.

Friend.

Friend.

You can't have too many vise-grips.

@msbellows @ai6yr @AndrewHenry When I was a callow young proto-crone, a wise man once told me that vise-grips are the first step on the way to independence and self-actualization. That advice shaped my entire adult life.

@iBlame @NilaJones @msbellows @ai6yr @AndrewHenry When my father bought a secondhand International Scout, he found a pair of vice grips clamped to the frame. Into the glovebox they went.

When the clutch cable anchor rusted through a few years later, so that stepping on the clutch moved the sheathing, not the cable, those vice grips got him home.
