Yea they are, but when discussing a stuck bolt, wrenches are notorious for rounding the fastener. Once your wrench slips the first time, good luck getting it to budge. That's when you throw that wrench down and grab your channellocks, and watch that nut spin.

please explain to me how the best tool for the job is a wrench

Did you miss the post where the channellock 422's were able to shear the bolt? in the end, it was not a question of will they be able to shear the bolt, but when will they shear it. ill post how knipex does when i get around to testing it.

I will be doing the exact same test with the knipex alligator 10" pliers. I redid this test using the channellock 422 v jaws. These pliers did great. When I tested the gl's I had little respect for the grade 8 bolt. It did not occur to me for a second that I'd ruin my pliers. Also this was meant...

^ that's pretty cool for the batteries.

[emoji106] Not sure... Probably not. For 10$ I'll probably just grab a new pair, and keep these as a conversation piece.

here you are precious. i hope my slr makes you happy pictured above, the broken tongue, bent lower jaw, and also the great shape that all the teeth are in.

I showed my Fiance the video of the torture test, and she asked me what the point is. Among other things, the main purpose is so I know what my best tool is for the job. Who's going to get it done the safest, quickest, and with the least amount of effort. That way when faced with a stubborn...

Yea the regular channellocks have 90* teeth. Unbiased grip either way you turn your pliers. The griplocks however have teeth on top and bottom jaw angled toward one another like a pipe wrench....Good for going in one direction only. Suddenly need to losen back up after tightening? Simply spin...

And all, yes I know the pics are not Crystal clear. My phone camera *****, what do you want?

Yes sir... Now, I just tried the 10" v jaw and it performed GREAT. This I think highly due to my greater level of consciousness as opposed to the rather sloppy initial test. This time I was much more precise with teeth placement, planted my feet better, and did it with much more form overall...

No, the teeth are flawless on these bent pliers. I'm surprised that you are surprised, being that channellock claims a Rockwell hardness of 59-61 range, HSS territory. I put the 10" nutbusters to the test prior. They don't bite and hold nearly as well as the gl. As far as the v jaws I have the...

10" knipex alligators...if they don't hold up.

I wouldn't be so sure....

Decided to see how the 10" Channellock Griplock pliers would hold up in a torture test with the infamous grade 8 bolt. This is a small, 3/8" shank bolt with a 9/16" hex, and 1.5" in length. The test was simple: stack the bolt to the top with grade 5 nuts with matching thread size, and put it in...

410's finally came in.
