What help one get a grip resolving perils (6)
I believe the answer is:
pliers
'what help one get a grip' is the definition.
(tool to help grip things)
'resolving perils' is the wordplay.
'resolving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'perils' is an anagram of 'PLIERS'.
(Other definitions for pliers that I've seen before include "Kind of pincers with flat gripping surfaces" , "Perils (anag)" , "Tool with jaws for gripping small objects" , "Small tool for gripping things" , "Hand tool used for gripping" .)
