By positioning the rivet closer to the cutting edge, considerably less force is required to cut than other high leverage designs. State-of-the-art laser heat treating offers a strong and consistent pattern across the cutting edge for increased strength and longevity. These pliers also offer a slimmer, lighter, and better-balanced design for maximum performance and accessibility. CHANNELLOCK® Diagonal Cutting Pliers are made in USA and forged from high carbon U.S. steel that is specially coated for ultimate rust prevention.

I appreciate that many of their hand tools are still Made in USA. These are sturdy ,well made and fit my size large hands well.
Great pliers. Easy grip handles.
You can use Craftsman, Kobalt, Knipex or whatever. We abuse the Channelock ones and they keep working. Still the best cutting pliers.
Super smooth and cut well. Grips are comfortable
Just amazing how tough these are I have cut nails/screws/wire and they are so good they can just cut a thin sheet of paper after cutting tough stuff super sharp.
