Yes, I think he may be damaging his nuts!

Seriously, if you are gripping nuts/bolts with pliers, stop now. Get yourself an adjustable spanner (or wrench if you are one of these people who go into a pub and say to the barman ''Can I get?'' - No, that's the barman's job - sorry I digress). Bahco are about the best make.

Failing that, get one of these
