I have one of those too, used to use it for battery cables, guy wires,
etc. before I got the Harbor Freight doodad. It worked well and I got
a lot of use out of it. Eventually one of the bolt-holes stripped out
from the jaws I used most regularly.
Its tough to use for position work because you need to put a lot of
leverage on the wrench when you snug down the bolts, alternating side to
side, works best if you can chuck it in a vise.
