The VISE-GRIP

®

 Locking Tool was invented in the 1924 by a blacksmith in a small town of DeWitt, Nebraska. William 

Petersen was a Danish immigrant who invented the fi rst locking pliers in his blacksmith shop, and began selling them 
from the back of his car to farmers and people in surrounding towns. He patented his new idea and called it VISE-
GRIP

®

.

Since then, VISE-GRIP

®

 has gained global brand recognition as the fi rst choice for Locking Pliers. Innovation and 

quality are the core values of the VISE-GRIP

®

 brand. With proven performance in every turn, these are the tools that 

tradesmen choose fi rst – and pass on to the next generation.
