Fraudulent Vise Grip Repair

These fraudulent vise grips appeared in a convenient scrap bin one day, so I took them.  I can always tell them apart since the real ones only have one rivet instead of three next to the upper jaw.  The reason they were scrapped appeared to be a crack on the lower jaw.

So I just welded it.  Of course, it might crack again, but there's always a situation where some semi-lousy vise grips can come in handy.

I used to confuse "vanadium" with "vandalism"
