ChannellockCHL426 6.5-Inch Straight Jaw Tongue and Groove Plier,Black, Blue, Silver

I've been using these Channellock pliers for 15-20 years now since the company I worked for had a contract with Channellock. At first, I didn't like the jaws on this version as I was used to the non- flat jaw type which fit around a hex nut. I found though that these, when adjusted also grip hex huts perfectly on two sides and the teeth are sharp and strong enough to bite in and not slip ever. They also work on steel pipe, although 'footprints' or stillsons are more suited for pipe tightening. They have taken abuse over the years. I only bought a new set recently as the old set's teeth are slightly less sharp after 15 plus years of exposure to water, flux, chemicals, and daily use. The blue handles started to slip off after 12 years and I taped them on. The 12 inch version is large and powerful enough for most jobs.

Good Tool, needed one as my flat mate forgot where he put ours, this is bit smaller than expected but works well, we have since found ours and ours is much larger so have 2 sets now

I have used this brand now for a few years and find them very good compared to others. On this occasion they seem slightly chipped around the edges. Maybe it was dropped in factory or something. They are still completely usable but I know the last set I had did not have any marks like this. I'll know if it's a one off when I buy another set in a few years. Still a great tool.

Good grips, good movement and never slip. Had these before but were stolen.Good price on Amazon.

Solid made tool with wide chunky jaws. But will pinch your fingers if you slip when gripping!

This is an amazing product 5 stars

The perfect small pliers for doing small jobs when travelling. It replaces a pair confiscated by airport security. You are apparently not allowed to carry ANY tools however innocuous on planes leaving British airports. Not even this small simple pair of pliers!

Always used this make and after 18 years of every day use I only had to repace them because I misplaced them fantastic
