Hear me out. This was the first tool I bought when I moved out of my parents' house, and honestly, it's the most versatile one I own. Completely indestructible, easily adjustable jaw opening size, and capable of so many things:
-Anything you'd use pliers for: holding, gripping, twisting
-Loosening or tightening bolts
-Plumbing repairs
-Picking up hot things like grill grates
-Bending stuff
-Self-defense
-Opening stuck caps & lids
-Using as a makeshift hammer
-The list goes on...
