1. Those are great pliers. I have a bunch of (Sargent Co.) parallel jaw pliers, including one pair with the wire cutters as shown. Well worth getting a pair off of Ebay. They are still available from jeweler’s supply companies.
   Parallel jaw pliers, as in the advertisement grip anything with a parallel, rather than an angular grip so no more blood blisters from slipping nuts.
   That last bit sounds pretty bad, I know…

   Great site btw.

2. My Grandpa gave me a pair of the Sargent Pliers w/ the wire cutters. They’ve come in handy many times. There are quite a few things I’ve been able to do with them that I couldn’t do with standard pliers.
