Nice find on the tool. They're the single most valuable pliers in my collection. Made by Knipex. Theres a bunch of differrent sizes, but I mostly use the smaller one since it fits in small places and still allows me to grip very strong. The big ones are great too but once you get up to that size there often is a better way to deal with the problem.
The jaws do indeed always stay parallel. Also with this construction, you dont close the jaws directly, but through a leverage. This allows you to put massive force on it with ease. With the parallel jaws, I often use it to straighten/flatten things that got bend or dented.
