Channellock10 Tongue Groove Plier Straight Jaw 2 Cap (430CB)

I replaced an older version of this tool and I am extremely satisfied with this updated channel lock plier. There are Many applications and uses for this product.

These channellocks are great!I couldn't find these channellocks with upgraded grips locally, so I bought them online.These are much better than the standard grips.Channellock has always made the BEST sliding joint pliers,take this advice from someone who uses this tool nearly dailey!

Very nice and this one, the one I ordered directly from Amazon as opposed to a third party, has handles just recently made in the USA (metal portion has always been made in the USA). I do know that for a period of time, code blue handles were outsourced. The photo illustrates the new version. I think the outsourced version does not have red spanning the length of the handles. I was worried I would receive one of the old stock "foreign" versions.......not so. Thanks Amazon!Changed my rating. After some light use, one of the Made in the USA grips slid off exposing the very tiny (less than a quarter pea) glue point that attached the grips to the metal. Oh well, I guess USA made doesn't always mean top notch quality although I'm still hopeful that most are.

Awesom channel locks , but the grips are huge and make them cumbersome and heavy. These are heavier and bulkier than my 12 inch pair of locks. The grip isn't even comfortable , but at least the colors are cool.

I love these
