More Uses Than You'd Think
Vise-grip products are pretty sturdy and can take a lot of abuse. The sheet-metal tool is no exception. It not only will clamp and hold a wider surface area than other grips, you can use it to get a nice, crisp fold in a variety of metals. Sheets that are longer than the jaw of the tool are not a problem--you can just move the tool along and there is no buckle or fold between the placements.I'm a tinsmith, and I use this tool pretty regularly. There are more expensive such tools around, with compound action, etc., but unless you use such a tool professionally and/or on extremely heavy-duty material, this is the best bang for the buck. And, once you have one, you'll wonder how you went so long without it.

Good
Good price, good product, fine service, what else is there?Only "issue" is the flat area has a bit of a bow; clamps the outside edges without clamping the center of .040 or thinner materials.
