## Description

Founded in 1886, Channel lock 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, Channel lock tools reflect a tradition of dedication to excellence maintained for well over a century. Over the years, Channel lock 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. Channel lock still manufactures more than 120 different sizes and types of pliers and hand tools at its facilities in Meadville, Pennsylvania.

Review: Strong and surprisingly precise. - I use this to make straight cuts on 0.020" hardened 1095 steel. Cuts it quite well (no surprise there), but, I am able to make surprisingly accurate cuts (4mm wide +- 0.5mm)
Review: I can't keep them on me because everyone else is using them. - Best snips I've had to date. They cut nicely and I've even been able to do long sections with no cutting motion, just pure forward movement and it cuts with ease. I use these on vinyl siding mostly so they're still nice and sharp. The only thing I would recommend to a future buyer is to add some oil or something to them to help out with rust proofing. The rust so far isn't crazy but I'd have liked to keep them looking good if I had known it was going to develop a small layer of rust so soon.
