^^^^^^ I hate going to the store for a tool and coming home empty handed!! In those instances, you're almost obligated to buy something just so you don't feel like you wasted a trip. Coming home with USA made "blue" stuff was a great choice!!

I dont have a picture as they in all
my different kits. When I was still
doing commercial bldg. maint. I
had several 22" plastic toolboxes.
Carpentry boiler/chiler,electrical,
Mechanical Phone/ Cat V .I had several buildings
on 33 acres and I could pic the ones needed and load them on a
two wheel cart. I had to hoof it,
I told them even a golfcart would
save a lot of time. Not in the budget. I know there were duplicates but I could grab a box
and go. I know I have the biggest
and smallest. Many specialty ones
in between.

They are not blue pouches, but I still think they count!! I'm doing white pouches now since I can't seem to find much blue!!:thumbup::beer:

Travis,

You're on the way to having the best NOS collection of Channellocks anywhere. Who knows, you may already have it! Nice additions!

Thanks Jeff! I prefer the blue pouches, but will settle for white now until I can find more blue! :lol:

I do have an empty blue pouch for a pair of #48 mini end nippers if you want it.
All of the pliers are on a rack in the front of my bench so I don't need the pouch.

Sure, I'll take the pouch if you don't want it. I haven't forgotten about your package Jeff, I hope to send you some stuff this week! :thumbup:

I'm a huge fan of Channellock's and I've been using them for years. I was organizing them today and I noticed that I have four pair of 426's and no 420's. :willy_nil Now I have to go out and buy a pair of 420's.

I bought some 422's today and they look like they'll be a great addition to the toolbox. :thumbup:

I'll try and get some pictures up tomorrow.

Just picked up a set of 440's at Sears for $12.64 before discounts and points. Got it down to $10.40, and had $10 worth of surprise points. Sears has a lot of good deals on Channellocks right now!

They're nice pliers, but I didn't need them. I just felt like buying a tool and that's what I ended up with. Pure impulse buy.....but I do like them.

Am I the only one that does't like knife and anvil type cutters? Other than that I love Channellocks. Their 909 Crimper and 85 Fence Tool are my favorites of those styles of pliers.

Anyone have working experience with their Linesman pliers? They have a 10" model that interests me.
