Hello everybody! I hope this topic has not yet been discussed to death, but I did a search and nothing really came up, so... How can I prevent nicks and marks from my pliers when I work with wire? I have tried several things that were suggested to me: I put both masking tape and duck tape over the plieres. (Not at the same time, of course.) While that was good in the beginning, the surface of both eventually got destroyed and there wasn't really any protection any more. Plus, the sticky stuff made the wire all nasty and slippery, so it was actually harder to get a good grip. (And I had to clean the sticky stuff off afterwards.) Now somebody suggested to superglue thin leather on the gripping surfaces of my pliers. Haven't yet tried it and hope for some input from you. Does anybody know a foolproof solution? Thanks in advance. Jennamyria
