Overview
Gripping chrome and nickel fittings without scratching them is the purpose of the smooth jaws on this Channellock. The pliers are forged from high carbon steel with a reinforcing edge, and the plastic handles are ergonomic.
Smooth jaws trade aggressive bite for surface protection, which suits visible plumbing and plated hardware. The material field says multi and the dimensions entry cannot be right, so rely on the item name.
Who it's for
Exposed faucets, plated pipes and finished hardware are the targets here. Rusted or rounded fasteners need a toothed jaw instead.
Pros and cons
- Smooth jaws protect plating
- Forged high carbon steel
- Reinforcing edge against stress breakage
- Made in the USA
- Less bite than toothed jaws
- Dimensions entry looks wrong
- Material field says multi
- Plastic handle material not detailed
Performance notes
Smooth jaws spread the squeeze over a flat contact area, which reduces marking on plated finishes. Grip then comes from clamping force rather than tooth bite. The reinforcing edge limits stress at the joint.
