If you can buy them for less than $20, BUY THEM. These are the most useful channel locks I've ever owned. Light, strong, and the angle head fits in places the other pliers I own won't go.

If you want made in the USA quality, this set has it.... heavy, beautiful design and construction. A fantasic buy for the price. Highly recommended.

Like many folks I've owned a number of pairs of "channel lock" type pliers, from Craftsman to many no-name brands. I ordered these because the price was very good, I believe $12.99 at the time. I've used them a few times now and they are easily superior to the other brands I have. The joints never slip, the teeth are very tough, and the design is great, allowing you to grip a hex-nut in the center portion of the plier. I'll probaly give away some of my other sets and just keep these. Highly recommended for the price.

The trademark light blue handles are undoubtedly a quick way to tell that these are genuine Channellock pliers. They are made in the USA, which I generally prefer, and the price is very reasonable vs. cheaper tools from China. At any rate, I bought this set for my father, but I actually already own a pair of the 12 inch tongue and groove pliers. As far as usability, I've found the larger Griplock pliers to be my favorite. The reason is that these pliers give you substantial leverage when you need it. Whether you are tightening one of the outside drain bolts in a plumbing application, or if you've stripped the head of a phillips-head screw or rounded a bolt and you need to back the screw/bolt out by grabbing the outside surface of the screw/bolt (as you probably noticed, this has happened to me before... a couple times). I would highly recommend this set to anyone that does a fair amount of DIY projects.

Finally and American made product. And really good ones too! Got mine from Amazon with free shipping....you've got to like that. The pliers work very well and with the offset head can get into unusual and smaller spaces than you might think. I am very happy with these functional, durable tools.

These are actually great pliers to have in any home. The offset, beak nose design is great for repairing or replacing water lines, toilets, water heaters, and otherwise reaching into abnormally tight spots. They're also good in the garage, for mowers and trucks. If I had owned a pair like this 20 years ago, I'd feel a lot smarter now. But at least I wised up. These make a great Festivus or xmas gift for the handyman in the family.

Great but how could they not be? Able to handle many jobs because they are adjustable.

These are built well. Very sturdy. The coating on them doesn't seem like its going to come off anytime soon. I'm happy.

These pliers are very useful to have around the house and for working on your car too! Channel Lock is a good quality brand so that's a plus. For eleven dollars for two, that's a bargain.

I bought these because I own a pair of channel locks made in the 70s,sad to say like most made in USA Items sold today the quality is no where near what it once was, I will stick with European and Chinese made tools, American companies need to realize we don't mind paying for quality,if I want cheap made crap I can buy it for a lot less than I paid for these,days are gone that I will pay a premium for the USA Stamp
