Channellock 432
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Channellock 432 is a robust 10-inch V-Jaw Tongue & Groove Plier designed for gripping round stock and tubing with increased contact points. It features a unique V-jaw and PERMALOCK fastener for durability, though it lacks the quick-adjust mechanism of the 432X model. Best suited for plumbers and mechanics handling cylindrical objects where traditional jaws slip.
The Channellock 3017 is an 8-inch long nose plier designed for precision gripping in confined spaces with a narrow nose and crosshatch teeth. Its primary limitation is the lack of integrated wire cutters, requiring users to carry a separate cutting tool. It is ideal for professionals valuing USA-made durability for precision work in electrical or jewelry applications.
