Channellock 927
Score: 80/100Rankings
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 927 is an 8-inch convertible retaining ring plier designed for one-handed operation, allowing users to switch between internal and external applications via a simple slider switch. It features a heavy-duty coiled return spring to reduce fatigue and includes a kit of five interchangeable tips for precision work in tight spaces. It is best suited for mechanics and DIYers handling retaining or snap rings in automotive, machinery, or appliance repair.
