As an aside...

My grandfather was friendly with the guy that invented Vise-Grips. He worked with some of the early prototypes and gave him some feedback. I have one that he gave him as an early production sample. They don't have the little release-assist lever.

I still use them...but I will admit that that release-assist was a needed improvement.
