Review on πŸ”· Channellock 317 8-Inch Long Nose Pliers - Crosshatch Jaw, Knife and Anvil Cutter, Comfort Grips | High Carbon Steel, Rust Prevention Coating - Blue by Francisco Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There are different models

I ordered this and I ordered a 6 inch set from another source that starts with Eb. The seller on Eb sent me an 8" with the same part number but the handles curve inwards and then outwards again. I gave them to my adult son from Amazon and left them with crooked hands. I like this design better I have several canal locks from the 1960's and they are definitely better made. And now there are good Chinese tool makers. However, when it comes to needle nose pliers, in my experience American or German pliers are better because pliers in that style are terrible. That Finish may not be as good as the 1960's versions but they work well and that's what I need.I was also able to tighten my old ones with a vise and it was amazing.

Pros
  • Cross hatch on jaws, handles are tight
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
