Product Description

• Length: 8" - 200 mm
• Perfectly mated cutter, heat treated to hold its edge
• Cross hatching on jaws
• Polished high carbon drop forged steel
• CHANNELLOCK BLUE® comfort grips

8" Lap joint diagonal pliers. Channellock® uses high carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention. Most of the manufactures use two sharp edges which can eventually become misaligned, losing there cutting effectiveness over time.  Channellock's knife and anvil ensure proper cutting edge alignment resulting in a clean cut every time!  Also this is to ensure perfect mating and superior cutting edge life.  The laser heat-treated cutting edges last 3 times longer!  Not only made for durability but for comfort as well, with the blue grip handles.

We use these side cutters in a fencing operation in New Zealand and we find that they are the only cutters that will take the rough handling.
The cutters will cut all the wire we use from high tensile to soft wire.
Also it only takes 4 -5 days to get them landed on my door step from the USA to New Zealand. Keep up the good work Amazon and we will be back

I love Channelock products. This cutter is a must have for any person who likes to fix or build anything. I even cut hot wires (whoops) with no ill effect.

These are great side cutters, they are a fantastic price and they only took 6days to get to me in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm an electrician so they will get used every day and I'm sure they will last many year.
