I heard that the other day. Too bad. I've got about 40 of 'em. Guess I'll go to the hardware store and pick up a few more and some springs before the junk hits the shelves.

I was in Home Depot this past weekend and noticed that the Vise Grip channel lock pliers were made in Taiwan. Irwin tool bought out Vise Grip and moved production overseas.
