I will have to drag out all of my vintage non-blue handled Channellock pliers and take a pic.
The hardest part will be getting them all back in the drawer lol

Jeff, I was looking at my Champion DeArment Channellock #410 and they have 2 rows of the radiused grooves on both sides of the pin.
My newer #420 and #440 only have one, but I've never seen a new pair of #410 to compare to. Is this a feature of older Channellocks?
That is just a feature of the 410 and 414 nutbuster pliers. The new ones still have the double channel.

Great addition to your collection Travis! You don't see 415s too often, particularly NOS pairs. Nice find.

Anyone have a link for the locking pliers? Can't find them anywhere.

There is no link, just keep looking as they pop up from time to time. The seller that was selling them on ebay doesn't have anymore as I bought the last set he had.

I just got this neat lapel pin from ebay:
yeah, the ****** won't ship to canada.
I do have some grip-on / NAPA versions on the way tho.
Any way to date some nut buster's.
I have a few set's. The guy I got them from said they were old. But they look like what is available on ebay as new stuff.
Are these anything special. What would they be worth. A 414 nut buster and a 410 nut buster. New in supposed old package. Thanks

Late 90's or early 2000's is when they started doing clam shell packaging and since they are engraved and not stamped, I would date them to around there.

Dinner, maybe a movie, buy why would you wan to?
I learned a long time ago, don't date the nut busters!

Now that's funny.
The whole time I been lookin at these thing's I've been think of such crude comment's to be made.
But I wasn't sure how exactly the site took these things so I kept my mouth shut. Now I know.
Are they worth trying to sell an extra set I have. Or no real money there. What would you value them at.

On ebay, they go for around $15-$20.

Someone will have to remind me to take a pic, but I also have an older version of that MX-41 driver which is clear and green. It's marked Upson Bros. who also originally made the Channellock screwholding drivers.
