A variation on the Vise grip (or Mole grips) made in the mid-sixties, purporting to automatically adjust to the right size, I find they don't grip tight enough to be really useful...

several companies sold versions of this, all kind of poorly functioning. I've never seen one worn out like vise grips get from constant use. I have a Proto version that is about half again as long as a vise grip with a huge blue knob on the end, really clumsy, never used it in 40+ years.
I've got that one, a needle-nose, and oddly a flat-clamp version and they all have the orange plastic-dip coating (to pretty to pass up at a garage sale lol). You have to turn that little thumbscrew to adjust them and that just abrades my fingertips so I never use them, but now that I know they're supposed to self-adjust I plan to revisit them. When I tried them I was probably adjusting the screw too much because I thought they were like regular vise-grips.
