Could not open jaws. 2 lbs paper weight. Could’ve used a rock for that
The teeth grip great, the adjustment is awesome, good quality but for a plumber they dropped the ball. The jaws and handles are way to bulky and feel clumsy. Wish they could have taken the regular 430s and just put the bush button adjustments and the new teeth and would have been great.
Best value. Spend a few dollars more and get these pliers, you won't be disappointed.
This is a newer product line, and because of some of the cuter design flourishes, I was afraid they were a watered-down "light" product line for first-time homeowners. Quite the opposite, actually. These are serious tools. Heavy, high carbon steel, and Made in USA to last a lifetime.The one feature that took me a moment to figure out, and is still growing on me, is the round locking button that must be depressed to adjust the opening of the pliers. It is a little bit stiff the first time you use it. The benefit is that they are then fixed at that size, unlike traditional tongue-and-groove pliers that slide back and forth when not under load.You get three pliers in this set, which at this price point is a huge value for your money. As they say: when you pay more for quality, you only cry once.
I expected better from Channellock. The tool I received looks to be from the trash bin. Dirty old stock.
