I was surprised to find this categorized as rare in yesterday's standard puzzle. I think most workshops would have at least one and a "vise-like grip" is regularly used to describe crocodiles and other predators.  ???
Just keep swimming, swimming...or cycling, walking, dancing and singing!

Yes, I'm always surprised to see it marked 'rare'. 'American' spellings and 'British' spellings of the same word usually have the same status.

However, perhaps it makes up for kerb [rare] and curb [common]

Just another small vice of this fascinating game.
