Overview
Gripping parts in tight, deep spots is the job of this Channellock, which has a duckbill jaw with an extra long nose. The jaws are heat treated and the handles carry blue comfort grips.
A long flat nose reaches into confined areas where standard pliers cannot, and crosshatch teeth give the jaws a bite. The listing names no wire cutter or spring, and the size appears as two close figures.
Who it's for
Electrical, automotive and repair users who work in recessed spaces get reach and a firm bite. People who need to cut wire or form loops should choose a different style of plier.
Pros and cons
- Extra long nose for reach
- Crosshatch teeth for grip
- Heat-treated jaws hold their edge
- Forged steel construction
- No cutter listed
- Size figures differ between title and copy
- Weight not listed
- Flat jaws do not bend round loops
Performance notes
The long nose reaches into recesses, and the crosshatch teeth bite into the work so it does not slip. Heat-treated jaws resist wear where they grip. Leverage is set by handle length and the distance from the pivot to the tip.
