Good tip, but I have several pairs of the same vise grips because the buddy I loan them to is myself.
I eventually find them, but it has turned out pretty useful to have a few pairs distributed around the place.
One pair lives by the lawnmower gas can and exists mainly to adjust the mower deck height, for example.

They're a little rough, lol.
Not that bad--they're more like spring-loaded pins. They had plastic hook-shaped handles to make pulling them out of height selection holes, but most of those hooks have broken off.
So I'm not using the vise grips to turn nuts/bolts. Just for grip while pulling.
Still, they're a little chewed up, lol.
