I already have a few from Snap-on, C-locks, and the corrosion after a few months is getting old. Not quite to the largest length of the Snap-on, but price justifiable. Anyone currently using or have used these? Thanks

They look pretty nice. I'm curious as well.

I have some crawford stuff and it is real good. The only one of the pliers I have is the 6 inch long nose and they are my favorite... I use them everyday for copier work. Not sure how they would handle heavy duty use, but so far they have been the most versatile long nose I have used. They are still like new after several years of use- I also have a new one in the bag as a backup should I loose my current one. Well priced stuff.

They look like re-branded Channel Lock pliers.

Here is my new one, they don't appear to be similar to channelocks as far as i can tell, but I have seen ones similar to these with different colored handles- identical to the non Snap On Katuns, and similar but not the same as the Jensen pliers.

As far as corrosion, they are not corrosion proof, they don't have any clearcoat like some Channellocks do, but I keep them oiled and they do fine.

I bought a pair of the Crawford 8822 and other than grip color and branding they are identical a pair of 718s I have.
