True enough - there's always a right tool for the job.
For me when access isn't an issue - the "nut" jaw vise grip is hard to beat for the $$$ spent.
OnSnap on might do it better in certains situations - and I may buy some eventually, but that's just 'cause I LOVE having the right tools for the job - ANY job... :)

I understand your loyalty to this vise grip, but there are jobs, like removing the nuts on the inside of the p/s pinion valve on a 505 where you would have 0% purchase to install any kind of vise grip. I use those little Snap-on flare nut wrench ends that are 3/8 drive to loosen the fittings.
Early on in my car work days I bought several Proto flare nut wrenches that have, at times, not done the job. Since replacing them with Snap-on wrenches I have never had a problem since.
