Button indexing is faster. Jaws actually open WIDER than original Model 442 ! Jaw teeth a slight, unimportant variation 99% identical. Upgraded version of Chk M 442 is worth considering.I endorse this version.
They are great speed grip style plyers. A little bigger than others in its class.
These are great for gas lines. The handles are very thick and wide tho
Liked over all. Usage
These grip round items great. Will one jaw shape do it all? Maybe and maybe not. Will these toothy jaws replace my smooth jaws pliers wrench or smooth jaws parrot nose pliers or adjustable wrench set ?Note: I wear mens XL gloves.Fully closed jaws the handles are a handful to grip. The handles do get closer together as the jaws are separated.The handle grip feels very comfortable but is a little smooth. I wear Milwaukee Nitrile work gloves for a super grip.The jaws grips round items great but longer jaws would be nicer.Play with the pliers jaw and try several item diameters to see and feel the maximum tooth contact.My opinion only. The jaws have a sweet spot diameter gripping range for maximum tooth contact.
