It's too bad that Nebraska has lost the Vise-Grip plant, where they've always been made. Be aware of really cheap crap from China in the future! I'm sure some on the shelf are still "really" Vise-Grips, but they will soon get less than the quality we've all been used to. A SAD day, once again!

Thought I'd ask about them before I have to take them out someday! They seem to be a cross between a philips head and a square drive--that's the best I can do. They don't look like a philips screwdriver would be very effective. What's the tool of choice? Thanks.
