Founded in 1886, Channellock is a worldwide leader in the manufacture of high-quality pliers and assorted hand tools. Now run by the fifth generation of the DeArment family, Channellock tools reflect a tradition of dedication to excellence maintained for well over a century. Over the years, Channellock has obtained several patents including one in 1965 for the conical surface created on the cam side of the pliers when undercut and another in 1984 for the PermaLock fastener found in its Tongue and Groove Pliers. Channellock still manufactures more than 120 different sizes and types of pliers and hand tools at its facilities in Meadville, Pennsylvania.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
To the credit of Amazon, and their automated and streamlined return process, I have since received a new pair of pliers two days after having made the request for replacement. The new tool is not exactly an exemplar of attention to detail, but they do appear to be solid and entirely functional. I hope it gives me years of dutiful service, and I can rest easier knowing I have supported my fellow countrymen by buying a US-made quality tool. I am knocking a star off though, since surface rust was present out-of-box -- I don't buy tools to have something pretty, but not adequately oiling tools to be stored long term is just generally ill advised. I am leaving the original review too, in order to encourage others to give Channel Lock a second chance, should they find themselves in the same predicament as mine. After all, these needle noses where the only quality issue I've ever had out of all the various Channel Lock tools I own and love.
I'm to the point, 20+ years later, that the tools I inherited from my pops are all wearing out and becoming unusable (some of which he inherited from his pops!). I strongly believe in buying quality tools once, rather than repurchasing cheap crap in perpetuity. To that end, I went to Amazon for a solid US-made tool, Channel Lock. However, I'm sitting here looking at a pair of their 6" needle noses, that appear to have been dressed and finished by Helen Keller herself. These things are horrendous: uneven grindings, off-center tips, uneven tips, grossly off-center profile, mismatched close, greatly gapped close, and excessively stiff.
I couldn't believe that such a highly regarded company had produced such a piece of garbage that actually made it out the door, and so spent a couple hours researching others' experience in this regard. Many of the professionals noted that Channel Lock seem to have a difficult time producing consistently high quality needle noses in particular, both bent and straight. Among many complaints on various websites, was actually another Amazon reviewer, that posted this gem for his 8" variant:
"On a side note, after buying several Channellocks of various types from Amazon, its becoming clear that Amazon has become Channellock's outlet for "factory seconds" (created by employees in training?)
Every single pair I see on the store shelf is near-perfectly finished, and every single pair I get from Amazon is oddly ground somehow, enough that I would pass on it in-person at a regular store. YMMV"
I guess that's now my experience too, how disappointing! Though, to be fair, I did just take receipt of a model 548 from Amazon, and honestly, I love that tool more than what's probably appropriate, or at least more than what my wife can ever understand. I do have a couple more Channel Locks coming, and I truly hope this isn't a trend with what appears to be factory seconds. (UPDATE: I've since taken receipt of a model 436 too, and is proving a good work mule)
This specific pair will be going back to Amazon ASAP, and I will report back with the replacement.
(On an aside, many professionals seemed to sincerely believe that Channel Lock et. al. have moved to laser engraving their markings vs. stamping, in order to make it difficult/impossible to utilize warranty programs. That is, if one doesn't know who made the tool at the time of it breaking, since the markings would've long worn off, one wouldn't know who to go to for a replacement. So, is that simply conspiracy theory? Perhaps, but still an interesting angle I thought I'd impart, since the notion was entirely news to me.)

Reviewed in Brazil on May 28, 2021
the minor flaw is that serrations are done only at the very tip of the jaws,
the 80% of the jaws are smooth.
Keep it in mind when purchasing
