 I agree with Tony. If I saw teeth marks on a axle
nut, I'd replace it. Even if the corners were not
rounded, it wouldn't take a proper wrench correctly
after it had plier jaws on it. Use the proper size
and type of tool for each job. Such pliers should
only be used for nuts in emergencies, with the
understanding that that nut will need to be replaced.
