🔧 Channellock 758 7.5-inch Precision Diagonal Cutting Tool Review

I love these. I have big hands and bad reflexes so I prefer bigger and stronger tools and decided to pay more to avoid those cheap little side cutters. Was also thrilled to see that they are made in the USA. Great idea but very disappointed. The surface texture is rough and uneven. The blades don't cut completely at the base of the head, even if they meet there, and when they do cut, it takes a lot more force than is needed. I think I will return them or ask for a refund. It's sad to think that

I use them for safety wire (up to .041") and they get into hard-to-reach places that 'regular' cutters can't.

The first pair had a slight error in the alignment of the jaws, reducing effectiveness near the tip. But Channellock's warranty process was simple and relatively quick: 30 days from shipping the defective pliers to receiving a new (perfect) replacement. The only cost was shipping the defective pliers to…

I changed the brake drums on my 2001 Honda Cr-V (CRV) and ALL HOLY a favor and buy this great spring return tool. This spring is very difficult (almost impossible) to reattach with regular pliers or a drum brake hook, but it only took me about 15 seconds with this tool. cutting pliers. It should be the "END CUT" version. Essentially, you're using it as a closed "hook" for the curved part of the spring. The traditional drum brake hook tool (included in drum brake tool kits) was too large and…
