Pro-Tip: The straight jaw profile is the most versatile shape for flat materials. When working with hex bolts or flat plates, ensure the jaws are parallel to the workpiece surfaces; this maximizes tooth engagement across the entire face of the metal, preventing the rounded corners often caused by using smaller, standard pliers under high torque.
