The type with rubber on the ends. This will protect the plate finish better than vise grips and IMHO, is easier to use. Avery >> Great tip Avery. But, if you can't find one of those right away, just use a clothespin. If it is too wide and blunt, carve it down a bit and make it one of your tools for this purpose. Since it is made of soft wood, it won't scratch or mar the plate finish. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
