718 8-Inch Flat Nose Pliers | Duckbill Jaw Pliers with Extra Long Nose and Crosshatch Teeth Pattern Designed for Hard-to-Reach Places | Forged of High Carbon Steel | Made in the USA

These are some of my favorite pliers - long reach, small point, but high leverage because the jaws are so short. Still made in the United States of America with super high quality, at an unbelievably competitive price. These make great gifts!

Great American-made quality.

Great quality. This is my second pair. The first pair lasted me a decade!

It’s a good quality and the price is right.

Bought two pairs. I have found that you really do get what you pay for, and want Channellock quality at a minimum. Wondered upon opening them if I'd have been happier with the S-K tool instead; I was disappointed to learn that BOTH pairs had metal filings adhered to the textured part of the jaws, apparently excess metal from when the teeth were formed. This upsets me.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is the only pair of needle nose pliers anyone should own. They are incredible.

Most people would rate a tool down for those reasons. I won't. For me, even with some imperfections, I don't see the tool as less functional. I noticed that the nose was grinded down a bit more on one side than the other. Additionally, there was a ton of metal shaving "crud" in the jaws of the pliers. The crud will clean off over time, and even faster if I were to put a nylon brush to work. The overall tool works and functions well. The rivet is smooth as butter straight out of the packaging. I imagine 2 weeks of constant use and the duckbills will be broken in and smoother. Channellock needs to have better quality control. I could easily send this back to them and they would likely honor the warranty as it fills the whole "workmanship" clause pretty well. But I decided to keep it. Nothing is perfect in life, and tools are meant to be used. I'm not buying a piece of Japanese pottery - I'm buying a tool that I intend to use.

I just purchased seven pliers from Channellock primarily for electrical work on my home and electronic tinkering in my workshop. I haven't purchased high quality plier sets since the early 1990's when I purchased a few from the Crescent Co...Like a lot of other folks, I've purchased import pliers out of urgency for a particular use, and they were marginally "ok," but I got tired of trying to cut wires and moving the cutter around on the wire to find a remaining sharp spot to actually sever the wire with. The imports seem to be made of a softer steel which in my experience, doesn't stay sharp long. When I recently cut the cord off a broken appliance, I pulled and tugged, but the diagonal cutters (import) just wouldn't cut anymore. When I looked at the blade area with a magnifier, I found out why...the cutting area was very poorly machined, formed and dull. I never cut hardened materials or abuse my tools in any way so I think the import brand I bought were just crappy. When my Channellock pliers arrived, (long reach, diagonal cutters, long nose, flat nose, end cuts, snipe nose and 7 1/2" side cuts) I got just what I expected, made in the U.S.A. quality! There's no question Channellock uses high quality tool steel for their products and checking them out with a magnifier showed a very precise milling of the cutters. I like them a lot. After checking these pliers out, and seeing the quality, I'm going to order a small pair of Channellock linesman pliers and the smaller pair of diagonal cutters. 5 stars.

Lovely pliers, narrow profile allows easy access within confined areas. They have good leverage giving plenty of grip at the very narrow tip. Nothing special and shiny to look at just a nice quality tool made in the USA that will just do the job. I recommend.

Produto de excelente qualidade, muito bom

マックツールのOEMに採用されている品です。 業者さんの検品で弾かれここでは購入できなかったのですが、米アマゾンで半額で購入出来ました。 アカウントがあるならそっちで購入しましょう２週間ほどで届きます。 製品自体は細部が荒い仕上げですか問題ありません。

Feel great in the hand, good mechanical advantage, perfect for when you have to clamp and have good visual and mechanical access, due to the long, comfortable handles. Grips are wide, don't hurt the hands. My go-to every time.

Its good value.
