gator grips are a ------- joke.

i've broken them before.

i think you have broken every tool you own by now. i bet you have welded a few to a few mani's too lol

I try and not weld my tools.. they tend to not offer warranties if they have been welded. I will weld stupid ---- together, like a beer can to a muffler if I'm drunk/bored.

I also leave my tools outside and let them get rusted, then return them to sears and say "gimme new one!" works every time.. matter of fact I had a brand new OHV spring compressor I left out on the porch (for 2 months) that's gonna go back to sears.

yeah i think you're fucked for saving the threads/section of pipe/o2 sensors.

If vice grips can't do then it can't be done.
