nothing like the old ones that said petersen mnfg. de wit nebraska on the side. Snap-on makes the real thing now. the only thing these junk erwins are for is a hammer to keep in the tractor tool box.
They don’t make them like the used to. I have used this brand of vise grips for over 50 years. They have always been very durable and lasted through 20 years of abuse before I lost them. This new pair broke while I was clamping 2 pieces of steel together with one hand. How could the pieces have fallen to the floor? The jaw broke and I wasn’t even misusing them.
