Universal wrench design

If you must, and have the room, pretty hard to beat the original, USA made, lever release, Vise Grip brand pliers.........

Somewhere I've got one pair of my father's that is so old it is NOT "lever release"

Bad part is they aren’t made here anymore. Snapon did buy the rights to them and are producing them now. My dealer would not sell Snapon vice grips 2 years ago. Now they will due to the better design
