Grip pliers are special pliers that can be adjusted to hold an object without the user holding them shut. Common uses are in metalworking, e.g. welding or sharpening.
Use them where a vise won't go!
Take the time to adjust the gripping force by turning the knob at the end of one of the tool's legs before you start a job that relies on it! Frequently testing the result makes this process easier.
