Well, I tried the wooden clothespin with visegrip, and the rod just spun around in the clothespin.

Then I tried using the chuck from an electric drill, and it too just spun in the chuck.

And yes, I'm rotating clockwise.

I guess I'll look at getting that visesmith or the Brownell's 080-000-537WB S&W Large Extractor Tool. I recently placed an order with Brownell, and would have picked up the Brownell tool, but they were out of stock.

I'm kind of wondering if that Brownell design will put more even pressure around the rod than that visesmith? As the visesmith looks like it just presses on it from two sides like a vise. Whereas that Brownell design looks like it may put force more around the rod instead of squishing it from 2 sides. I think putting more force AROUND the rod would give better grip and be safer than trying to pinch it tight like what it looks like with the visesmith. As I'd be worried about turning the round rod into more of an oval type shape.
