I will try to make one from a broken hockey stick. I may have to cut some waste off the bottom of the heel to get the appropriate leverage.

Once I cut the clamps, I held them in the pliers while I split them on the band saw and opened them slightly to back them out. I made these from 2″ electrical conduit, and they have plenty of clamping pressure.

Off to the shop to make up a set of these pliers.
