The nylon jaws will not nick, mark, or damage the wires you are working with. They are also ideal for straightening wires (which also strengthens them). Just run the nylon jaws over the wires a few times to straighten and strengthen.
This means that you can now easily undo mistakes just by pulling the nylon pliers over your bent wires to get rid of the kinks. And for (semi-)precious wires, you no longer have to suffer the waste of kinked expensive wires.
Being gentle on wire, these pliers and the flat square shape that they have, they are a god-sent in making design bends in your wires. Once you are done, you don't even need to refinish or rebuff the wires. Rounded nylon jaws are also available on the market which are very good for forming loops without marring.
The nylon jaws will wear out over time. You can get replacement jaws. However you can get strong, durable and yet low-priced nylon jaws pliers so that you can just as easily and as cheaply replace the whole pliers.
