that has a toolbox with six vise grip wrenches.
Down through the years, if I needed one and could not find it, I would go buy one.
It is embarressing.

You are possibly the only one that has six... The norm is many more than that!

When I was working in a machine shop,one of the machinist cursed Vise Grips . He was Swedish, I reminded him a Swedish blacksmith in the States had invented them. I don't remember the answer.

I have at least 6 pairs but I have never bought any they just appear.

The inventor was William S. Petersen who lived in DeWitt, Nebraska. My dad was a steel salesman and frequently met with Petersen and sold steel to him.

I haven't done a *Vise Grip count* in a number of years, but I have well over 30 pairs.

I don't have six in one tool box (well I don't think I do), but if I were to count all the vise-grips in all boxes and drawers, and walls . . . .
Just don't bring up hammers or screwdrivers. That gets over a dozen in a single drawer(s) really quick. And not counting other boxes or drawers or walls.

At least six for me, though they're many styles! The needle nosed are some of the most useful.
