Manufactured in DeWitt, Nebraska, USA, this tool features the classic locking mechanism that made Vise-Grip a staple in automotive, welding, and metalworking shops. The wide-angle jaws provide a stable grip on flat materials, making it useful for clamping edges, holding panels during welding, or securing materials during fabrication and repair work. The tool shows light wear from use but remains a durable example of American-made workshop equipment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eEra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMid to Late 20th Century (circa 1960s–1980s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eStyle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIndustrial Workshop Tool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eTechnique\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCast and Stamped Steel Construction with Locking Lever Mechanism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eTools Used\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMetal casting equipment, stamping presses, machining tools, assembly fixtures, heat-treating equipment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eHistory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe original Vise-Grip locking pliers were invented by William Petersen in Nebraska during the 1920s.
