I love 'em but I don't usually use them on nuts, since there's better tools for the job. The fact that they're parallel makes them good for a lot of situations, like pushing something into another thing, or even just gripping onto things over a larger surface without marring them too much (e.g. I use them to get 3d prints off the print bed when they're really on there and refuse to give. Although I've also occasionally used the tiny version of them for e.g. installing a new faucet, when I couldn't get other things into the space.

It's a good tool but I wouldn't reach for it first in every situation. If you have a regular nut with plenty of space, there's better tools.
