Been doing the Guardian X word today and I cannot get the final answer:



Clue: Gripping tool (6)



So far got _U_U_S. The 2 U's and the S are definately right (from the other intersecting words)



I am thinking along the lines of DIY/Professional tools but cannot get anything to come to mind, anybody any clues?



TIA



John



Start again John. 5dn is gooseflesh, 12dn is beholder --------

Only thing I can think of is "AUGURS". Augur meaning a sign of what might happen in the future (whether that would be gripping is debatable), and sounding like auger.

The answer is PLIERS. You've got the other answers wrong. I finished it in about 5 minutes.
