Channellock - Plier Tongue Groove 16 (460)

I love these 16" Channellocks, I bought my first pair a very long time ago and they are still going strong. I've wanted and needed another pair for a couple decades and I finally bought another pair. My first pair is beat to hell and I cannot read the model number, but they look the same, and it still works great. Made in the USA and they were here for a minute at $31.95, that price was the sweet spot for me. I did look at other brands maybe higher maybe lower prices but I know that these are good quality so why risk being disappointed.

These Channellock Pliers Tongue are a true workhorse in my toolbox. I've come to rely on it for various tasks, and it has consistently proven its worth. The 16-inch size provides ample leverage and jaw capacity, making it incredibly versatile. Whether I'm dealing with plumbing repairs, automotive maintenance, or general DIY projects, this tool has me covered. The tongue and groove design ensures a secure grip on various shapes and sizes of nuts, bolts, and pipes. The high-quality construction and the iconic Channellock blue grips provide both durability and comfort during extended use. The built-in wire cutter is an added bonus, making it an even more versatile tool. It's a must-have for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts, and it has earned its place as a staple in my toolbox.

I've been in construction and maintenance all my life. If I need a pair of pliers, I reach for Channellocks. I've tried cheaper brands in the past. You get what you pay for. The pliers just work. The pin that locks them together for adjustment is not a nut and bolt that constantly has to be tightened or loosened. It is a permanent pin that cannot be adjusted. They never fail. Anytime I lose them or do something REALLY abusive (on purpose) to them, I WILL ALWAYS buy this brand. There is none finer! (Disclaimer...I do not own stock nor am I employed at this company. I just know a good product when I have it!)

Because sometimes you just need a big pair of pliers. All the machining looks even with no sharp edges or burrs. Everything lines up well. Still USA owned and made here with US steel. They're a little more expensive than many other brands, but these will be around long after I'm gone. I do use my tools but I don't abuse them. A little tip is to keep pliers like these oiled because they will rust if left unattended for a while. The coating they use on these pliers doesn't last very long. Good steel rusts, it's just a fact. Just wipe them down with a little oil before putting them up, it helps. If they'll be stored for a while, use some PB Blaster Surface Sheild. Especially if you live in a high humidity area. Channel Lock pliers are strong and dependable, and will last a very long time if you take care of them.

Work well in wet or dry conditions

Good

Channellock has been a reliable tool for many years but when i had a project that required a larger slip joint pliers, I had to make due with what I had . i looked at the sizes that were available and could have been happy with the 12 inch but I said "If I needed something larger , I'd wished I had gotten one a little larger so I opted to pay the price but may be happier in the future. My only complaint is the finish around part of the slotted channels edge was a bit rough (no big deal) but won't affect the performance. Very happy otherwise.

Haven’t put it to a real test as yet. Appears well made. Says “Made in USA “ — how true this is I don’t know. Other products have the same type of labelling — then you find that it’s made in China and “ assembled in USA”. The real test will be when it’s under heavy use, and the “ grip teeth” wear off, or the handles don’t bend . Will update with good / bad report after use.

Muy práctico para tubería de dimensiones grandes por ejemplo PVC hidráulico

Good quality, perfect for my needs

Bought specifically for tightening the poly fittings on 1000 gallon water tanks, worked great, much better than a heavy pipe wrench. Channelock have been around for a long time and make a great product.

This is an amazing product 5 stars
