And when I say big, I mean BIG. You can win a custom built Vise-Grip Chopper, or $25,000 cash. All you have to do is tell IRWIN VISE-GRIP your unique story on how you use your Vise-Grip.

 For years, IRWIN has received hundreds of unsolicited stories from professional tradesmen, contractors and do-it-yourselfers about the unique ways they’ve used a VISE-GRIP product outside of its traditional use to solve various problems either in a pinch or as a permanent solution. The stories range from makeshift nut crackers and portable camera stands to temporary gear levers for dirt bikes and door handles.

From July 1 – Oct. 31, 2008, consumers can enter their VISE-GRIP stories at www.irwin.com/vise-grip. Entries must describe the way they used their VISE-GRIP in 100 words or less and can include a photo of the product in use. The contest entries will be judged from Nov. 1 – 15, 2008 to identify the top 50 stories. The story entries will be selected based on creativity, originality and how the story fits with the product theme. Consumers will have a chance to vote on the top entries to help select the winner from Nov. 16 – Dec. 19, 2008. The contest winner will be announced by Feb. 2009.

But that is not all; Irwin Vise-Grip also has a bunch of other prizes that you can win, without having a cool story to tell. Via a random drawing.
