Way back when i was in elementry school about a hundred and fifty years ago My shop teacher (sheet metal)> Told us guys in class that a train brakeman invented the vice grip plier > he the brake man was always clamping of air hoses so he could shunt cars > his first set had a lever that latched and held the pliers closed > soon he discovered that if the pliers were larger and went over center they locked > and he further developed the pliers to the point they are today > ~Copey POST SCRIPT THIS IS A STORY AND AS COPEY ALWAYS SAYS NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY LMAO
