Can anybody tell me if the Channellock 435, 436, and 437 Diagonal cutters use an actual "box joint" design of the same type found on European "box joint" pliers?
Channellock refers to the joint design these three cutters as using a box joint, but when I was looking at a pair of 436 cutters at Home Depot the joint didn't look like what I'm used to being referred to as a box joint.
What I mean by a box joint, is where the one leg of the plier or cutter actually passes thru a hole in the other plier leg, rather than passing over the leg like in a "lap joint" design.
In both cases the pliers/cutters are usually riveted.
The joint on the 435,436,437 cutters that I've seen look like what Knipex calls a "Single joint"
Channellock "Wiremaster" 349 linesman pliers Uses what I know of as a box joint, but they don't call it a box joint. The just refer to it as a "Unique Heavy duty enclosed joint design".

Sorry, I hope I explained my question well enough.
