Overview
Channellock offers this small straight jaw plier for gripping, twisting and cutting. The body is hardened US alloy steel with blue ergonomic handles, and the tongue and groove joint lets the jaws open to more than one setting.
A short body and hardened steel suit tight spots and light household work. The listing gives a cutting width that cannot be right for a tool this length, so treat that number with caution.
Who it's for
Small fittings, hobby projects and tool bag duty suit a short groove joint plier. Plumbing with larger pipe calls for a longer pattern with a wider jaw.
Pros and cons
- Hardened US alloy steel
- Small enough for tight spots
- Blue ergonomic handles
- Cutting and gripping uses
- Cutting width entry looks wrong
- Small jaw for large work
- Straight jaw only
- Included items not detailed
Performance notes
Grip comes from the jaw teeth and the adjustment slots that let the plier open to different sizes while the jaws stay parallel. Hardened alloy steel helps the teeth resist wear. A short handle limits leverage, so stubborn fasteners need a longer tool.
