What do you mean? There is a whole series 40 thru 48, 50 and 51.
Anyone else like Channellocks?

Hey Jeff.. I'm meaning what is the 41 (needle nose, diagonal, ??), 42 (mini adjustable, mini plier, ??) etc. I've got a hand full (including the needle you sold me).. 
Want a list to check off and go on the search to fulfill....

I never warmed up to the powder blue handles but I do have two inherited pair, one being somewhere around 16 inches long. A got pair that big from Proto, Wiha, Knipex or even Craftsman would cost a chunk of change so I overlook the offending hue.

I wish they still made these. It's so hard to find affordable, quality USA made midget pliers. Kleins versions are so expensive!

Thanks Travisnd..
I've got the 41, 43, and 49 (41, 49 I purchased way back in the late 70's I believe). I also have a blue/red heavy handle 30 which is a flush diagonal made in Germany..inherited from my uncle.. Now... to fill in the gaps...

I personally love channel-lock, always got quality items from them, always good prices, and best of all, Made in U.S.A !!
Right on!

thank you to Noah for the lead, and magnum for the pic.
the minis are not on kitts website, and the women at the warehouse said they're not available. even said that channey does not have two digit id numbers. i had to call the store, talked to Jason, he was able to straighten it out.
im getting one of each of the minis, and a pair of 738 &748.
he did say he had many of the little guys.

Nice... Glad you ran that trap.. Now I know what to do. How much (roughly) were the mini's? I cannot make that out from the picture.... Thanks a bunch.
Wow!! Lots of great additions to the thread lately. I wish I had more material to contribute to it. As I acquire "blue tools" I'll be sure to post them here. I gotta say though, I've learned a lot about Channellock products just by reading along with where ever the conversation leads. Good stuff!!

The 41 was $14. Considering its discontinued and all their other Channellock tools have awesome prices and theyre a family company I think it's fair.

My favorite Channellock is the 410 stud remover. I hardly ever use it but it has been super handy on a few occasions.

I would like to try the larger version of those. Usually I will try to double nut the stud to get it out, especially if you want to try and save it. Have you had much luck pulling studs with those? If double nut doesn't work I just use a stud puller.

Yes. I have never been stumped with the 410, even on seized head studs. They are as good as a stud puller, IMO.
You don't have to squeeze the handles to maintain the bite. You only have to pull on the outside handle. The more you pull, the harder the bite. So... I've heard from a reliable source that you can slip a pipe over the outside handle to either remove or twist off pretty much anything you could imagine.
The downside is this tool will chowder up a stud pretty good, if it is really locked in there. They are worse than a traditional stud puller, in this regard.
I try to be a reliable source.

I have a pair of #420's in every tool box and truck I have, The best tool in the box! It's almost like a pocket knife!

Wanted to say thanks for the info. I called Jason at Kitts and got the 41 and 47 channellock precision pliers that have been discontinued. Thanks to all.

I have learned the ways of channel lock pliers since I was young. My dad, to a fault, used them for damn near everything. They used to call him "Channel lock Charlie" because when he went to fix something that was one of the first tools he would reach for. R.I.P. dad.

Great finds Travis!!! I forgot, did you ever get that bottom box? Do you know when the tool roll was available? 70s, 80s?? If you get a chance, how about a picture of some vintage Channellocks in the vintage tool roll?? What a fantastic collection!! Thanks for the update.

Hey Martin,
Nice looking collection of well used Channellocks. I see some great patina on those tools. Thanks for the photo.

That tool roll is new-ish, I think "Work Hard, Sweat Blue" is a current tagline or a few years old.

Yes, the tool rolls are newer, I have 2, 1 with 5 pouches and 1 with 6 pouches. They are just difficult to come by if you don't buy a set with tools that includes the pouch!
