Duck bill vise grips

I bought these vise grips and they work for bending sheet metal.

I have several pairs of them and they do come in handy when messing with sheetmetal. Good for holding the flange of panels together while you spot weld it in.

Just tool post whore. Don't worry I'm done yet. Plenty more yet to come.

No problem

Yep those sure do come in handy for sheet metal. Also a nice 16 once ball peen hammer and 2 2x4's in a vice work nicely without cracking the metal if having to bend against grain. Or a nice small bench mounted brake works well.

Why so many tools? All of the above can be replaced by an 8lb sledge and a can of Bondo.

When I'm done, Bondo isn't needed. Leading where needed is so much better.
