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 426 is a 6.5-inch straight jaw tongue-and-groove plier designed for versatile gripping in tight spaces, manufactured entirely in the USA from high-carbon steel. It features a PERMALOCK fastener and laser-hardened teeth to prevent slipping, making it reliable for general maintenance. However, its compact size restricts leverage and limits its use to objects up to 0.87 inches.
