They have a spring handle, which helps ease hand fatigue. The textured handles make for a nice grip. Parallel pliers are used when uniform pressure is required.

This is extremely important, to avoid marring and scratching your wire as you work with it. Use this plier to loop, coiI and shape your wire and sheet metal.
