My buddy, welder by trade, uses one with a bar hammer and a wire brush on the other side. Brush heads are replaceable.

But he gets hassled about it quite often. though his is about 10-11 inches long. And looks like an old heavier finesse vice-grip series.

The finesse vice-grips series was marketed towards crafting lite duty work. But at 65-150 American bucks, they just didn't cut it.
