Yes, vice grip does make a fine looking chain wrench but I have always been
too cheap to spend that kind of money on a tool that I probably only use
once a year at most. I can always find a piece of used roller chain on the
farm. But I won't leave the yard without a pair of vise grips in the tractor
tool box. They are the handiest item I've found for emergency field repairs.
