Channellock CHL430 10-Inch Straight Jaw Tongue and Groove Plier

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.

I bought this to replace a set of crescent pump pliers that broke after 38 years of service I use them every day and I had a new pair of crescent ones but they were not as good as the old ones so thought I get these . They are lovely I am very happy got a good feel to them definitely a quality product

Having grown up in the USA, we called this "the Hillbilly Open-end Wrench". Strong, grips tight and easily adjustable when using for managing when a conventional wrench won't fit or can't do the job. Necessary item for any DIY tool box and Channel Lock is the flagship brand. Don't bother with cheap knock-offs.

Very happy with these. Much better than others I have had over the years.

I’ve seen a lot of people from the US raving about how great these grips are. They’re manufactured to a high standard and work well but I still prefer my knipex grips.

Been looking for these for ages, great pair of grips very professional.

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

Great job these water pump pliers, the only ones i would use
