I use mine the other way a lot by using the clamp part to hold the tool to a table, fence plank, door jam ect and use vise grip to hold the work piece

​​@@Mike_Alm1ghtyI wouldn't say it's wrong, but just different way to use it. The way he had It, you could use it to clamp a work piece that's wider than the jaws of the pliers, especially if you used a pair of these in tandem

The way I see it, you use the bolt to clamp it to the table and use the vice grips as the “vice”

I wonder if you are using it the wrong way round. What about using the thread part to clamp to a work surface and the mole grip to hold the work. Did it make a difference? It just seems like thats how it should work to me.

​@milanthemilan5015 yeah. I suppose it depends on if you have something round or square, you would adjust accordingly. Good point. Still a great gadget.

I was a shipfitter/pipefitter in the US Navy and used these. The locking jaws are what I would use to attach the pliers to angle iron, pipe, or any other solid surface and the Vise is what I put my work piece in. They worked awesome when needing an unavailable third hand or in a tight space where only one person could get their fat head into (Lol). Also, due to their design I could position my work piece at a variety of angles depending on what was needed.

In addition to the comments that *it seems like* the C clamp should go on the desk, I'd add that it most likely is only meant to be a third-hand without actually receiving much torque because it's gonna rotate around the clamp. Light sharpening like you've shown are probably the most force it should fend against.

That’s cool! I got into Zyliss Vices years ago and have collected a few. They’re handy but much bulkier than the Meyer Pliers you showed here.

My great grandpa welded two, 4 inch angle peices onto the clamp jaws of Irwin originals. They work awesome for bodywork! Should have patented it 😄 Keep the videos coming brother! ❤

Mole Grips the English copy of Vise-Grips made a clamp you could slide over the handle of a Mole Grip plier and use similarly.

This is great, but like you said, they should have compensated for the jaw angle so it would be level when clamped to table. One of these days I'm going to make one with locking pliers and c-clamp

I can also see how having two will be handy for securing longer workpieces.

I made this post before reading yours and yes they do work great for that. "I was a shipfitter/pipefitter in the US Navy and used these. The locking jaws are what I would use to attach the pliers to angle iron, pipe, or any other solid surface and the Vise is what I put my work piece in.

I have had one of these for many years. I think that you are using it backwards. If I remember correctly, you are suppose to clamp the plier the a work surface and then hol your object with the vice grips.

MADE IN TAIWAN back in the 80's-90's , yeah I'd bet that the poor alignment came from the factory. Taiwan has a reputation these days for making much better tools than China and even being an industry leader for some tools, but back then they were making absolutely terrible quality tools and locking pliers were no exception.
