I was at a tool show a few weeks back and saw some Australian made locking pliers by Sutton Tools that I noticed didn't have the adjustment screw like all the others I have. Upon inspection and reading the info on the packaging, these pliers use a tension spring to allow them to grip anything within the range of their jaws. There is a small thumb screw that sets the desired force of the grip and after trying them out, I bought two 175mm and two 275mm C Clamp style pliers with swivel pads. The price was comparable with what we pay for the ubiquitous 'vice grip' copies.

After using them for a few weeks I must say that I really like them, especially for welding and I will get some more into the future. They make the full range of styles and there is a video of them being used on their web site.
