Discussion The Tool That Frustrated You Most – A Waste of Money?!

That vice with the yellow 'grippers', or whatever they be called, HAS at last come in useful. I used mine to clamp the assembled lower main top for Granado, while I drilled the holes for eyebolts & 'bird's nest' (aka crowsfeet). Will it be used again - dunno? I'm getting a fair amount of useage from my Proxxy saw, to make replacement parts from decent wood.
