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.

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. 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.
