What kind of grease for a vice or vice-grips?

[Tom Gardner]

You've heard about the young couple that didn't know the difference between window putty and KY Jelly? All their windows fell out!

[John Doe]

Yeah, it's a no-brainer when I think about it. No pressure on the threads when turning.

Um, you use KY to eliminate grip in your vice.

Sounds like a dust collector.

You let dirt fall on your tools, and don't clean it off right away?

I've got some 45-year-old pairs of VISE-grip pliars that are as good as the day they were made, sans a few scars on the teeth. I bought 'em new; took care of them, and didn't use them as grinding holders or welding accessories, except for the two Vise-Grip welders' clamps I use regularly for that purpose. By needs, they won't last as long as the pliars have.

Clean the dust out of grease? No, I don't clean the "grease" out of my vise every day.

I don't grease my vise-grips, either.

[Unquestionably Confused]

Snerk! When MY vices require grease, I prefer K-Y Jelly

I posted that two days ago, and they didn't 'get' it. Lloyd

Did any of them fall on you, Tom? :)
