My Mole Grips
 
1 Attachment(s)
i dont start threads very often, but my friend made me these punk rock DIY mole grips, and i think they deserve their very own thread.
i mean look at 'em, he's welded on a 5mm allen key, and a couple of screwdrivers. the've even got an H for my name!
molegrips are my favourite tool ever!

That's the first I've ever heard them referred to as "molegrips".

While it is a pretty cool tool I can't really think of anything I would want to use vice(mole) grips for on my bike. I wouldn't go anywhere near my track nuts with those.

Are they called mole grips because you pull the moles out of their holes with them?

andygates 04-22-05 08:56 AM

No idea, old bean. Nor has Google or Wikipedia. A bit of a mystery, what?

onelesscar 04-22-05 09:00 AM

my mate calls them moles t1ts, but he's just a bit strange.

do you mean the one in the lorry? next to the bobby sitting on the rubbish bin? bollocks, innit!

flythebike 04-22-05 11:05 AM

Yeah I keep mine in the boot next to my spanner. If I have to stop at a phone box, I can get them both quickly that way.
