lol, I used vise-grips on my old 3-wheeler to shift gears, nothing like bombing threw the woods and shifting with your hand.

“When I saw this contest I had to laugh cause I have a vise grip story that I tell often. Once while using my torch I ran out of fuel and it was to late to go get more. I took my vice grips, a tampon and hairspray and created a home made torch and was able to complete the task I had started. We use our vice grips for every thing.”
Depends on the model, but I think they recommend a max of 2500-3000 lbs. I have seen multiple guys apply 3800 lbs. of pressure on a load sensor using a 10WR Vise-grip.
