The jaws grip hex nuts squarely, and don't round off the corners. These premises insured by a Sheltie in Training ,--- and Cooey.o "May the Good Lord take a likin' to you"

Sort of...if you want a plier type tool for turning nuts and bolts check out the Knipex Plier Wrench. Smooth, none-marring jaw surfaces that are articulated to remain parallel over their range of movement. They can rachet as well and can put way more torque on a nut or hex head than a pair of waterpump pliers or crescent wrenches. They aren't as good as a true wrench (box end, open end or socket) but on machinery they will often fit in spots the others won't and provide a range of sizes in one tool. Water pump pliers and crescent wrenches (adjustable spanners to our British friends) are not on the same planet with them. https://www.knipex.com/index.php?id=1216&page=group_detail&groupID=1500 Mathew 22: 37-39
