In theory it seems like it would be very good for holding rounded off
hex heads/nuts. But is it really that much better than plain 'ole
toothed jaws Vise Grips? And enough better to justify a dedicated tool?

I guess its real advantage is getting a _tight_ grip on hex without
marring any surfaces. Face it - hardly any wrench fits a hex
head/nut/fitting without a little slop. Mostly because the hex is
undersize.

Anybody own one?

Where were they 30 years ago????
That's the only type of "gripping pliers" from any manufacturer that
has any business being used as a "wrench"
