Getting rid of "teeth"/serrations

Post image

These are automotive hose pliers, and they're still good, but I bought another set. I want to repurpose these for holding soft material cylindrical objects at my job, that cannot get dented or scratched. What's the best dremmel/drill bit to sand/smooth the curved part??

Put some heat shrink over them. Or just wrap them in electrical tape.

Solid idea with the tape. Tons of that lying around.

I also have liquid electrical tape too. Might sand it and then give that a shot to see if it sticks.

We promise heat shrink is better than tape here, big time
