CHANNELLOCK® High Leverage Diagonal Cutting Pliers feature Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT™) which makes cutting easier than ever. 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.

Expected better finishing

For the price, I expected better finishing. Had to sand off burrs myself after arrival. Also had a tiny rust spot even though it has a bit of oil on it. Hopefully the quality of metal at least makes it more worth the price.

Still made in America

They still have the quality you expect from channel lock.

Can't go wrong with Channellocks

Have several different brands and sizes of diagonal cutters, but Channellock always outperforms the others. Very well made, smooth motion, and can last forever.

Channelock is still the best pliers

You can use Craftsman, Kobalt, Knipex or whatever. We abuse the Channelock ones and they keep working. Still the best cutting pliers.
