Review on Channellock 357 Technology High Leverage Heat Treated by Mark Bishop

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Complete rubbish, Knipex was terrible too, avoid this type of tool altogether

So I bought their Knipex version and they couldn't even cut the finished nail and they didn't have enough grip to cut the pull nails out so I sent them back and decided to try the American equivalent Channellock. Well those channel lock end cutters are just as bad, which is why I've come to the conclusion that the concept of end cutters and wire cutters are just terrible tool designs that don't work. Problems I've encountered: 1) When grabbing a nail, the handles diverge so far that your hand is unable to grab it and knock the nail out. 2) The edge is soft. The cutters cut the trim nail with ease, but when used to just grab the frame nail to pull it out, the edges bent and warped like butter. Pliers/Cutters.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
