ChannelLocks FAR Better than Vice Grips in some cases.
When it comes to loosening rounded-off bolts or nuts, ChannelLock pliers are vastly superior to Vice-Grips. Channellock pliers are all 100% made in the USA and are manufactured to the highest quality standards. It is best to have a few Channellock pliers in small, medium and large so that you have the right size Channellock pliers for the job, where is it a large bolt or a bolt in a tight place that needs to be loosened. Used the right way Channellock pliers will continue to tighten around a stripped or rounded off bolt or nut and grip tighter and tighter the more force that is applied to the Channellock pliers. This is where the Channellock pliers are vastly superior to the Vice-grips.
If you need to clamp two pieces of metal together, such as when welding steel than the Vice-grips are the tool that you need. Vice-grips also have a heavy duty wire cutter and Vice-grip wire cutters are strong enough to cut nails and screws. But for rusty, frozen bolts and nuts, the first tool to use and the best tool to use would be the Channellocks.
