I'm a big fan of channel locks. Only one time had an issue. I have a coaxial cable crimper snap/crack the first use. I should see it I can warranty this.

I'm pretty sure they were part of that load of stuff I hauled out of hoarder house that I helped clean up.

I had forgot about them as they were sitting inside the blast cabinet waiting to get a quick shot. I decided to clean them up a bit. The handles were covered with **** that I scrapped and sanded off, followed by wiping them with lacquer thinner.

I used these the other day to add a few lights in the basement. These things worked flawlessly and well worth their cost.. . .


wait, they didn't cost me a thing. :beer:


I'm just curious how old they are, any way to tell ?

Last add we had... we were dumpster diving in my son's neighbor's dumpster.. the home sat empty over the winter and apparently suffered major water damage.. anyway..we were looking for some insulated HVAC duct.. and low and behold out of the rubble.. a fairly intact but rusty set of 430s.... Dutifully retrieved from a journey to the dump....

Not was I was expecting or thinking about - I hate it when Companies reuse model numbers:

This is the original 910's I bought these new about 40 odd years ago:

I picked up this neat pair of Channellock 950-C vise grips / "TOG-L-LOK" yesterday. Never seen one of these before. We'll see if it supplants any existing vise grips.

Channellock is one of my favorite brands!

My dad has channellock stuff that is 25 to 30 years old that works fine. Good quality stuff, for a nice price. Have other nice products besides pliers etc, screwdrivers, combo wrenches, etc. A lot of their stuff is USA made, I love channellock, every time I see channellock stuff I can't help but think of my dad. His adjustable pliers, were his hammer wrench, adjustable pliers, screw driver etc. He abused his stuff and it held up. Can't say much more.

Related question. I have a couple pairs or Channellock pliers where the handles have turned green (garage sale finds). I've tried hand cleaner, whitewall cleaner, lift off, simple green, and others to get back the "baby blue", must just be sun related, or know of something that brings back the original color?

Thanks
