The Channellock 718 8-Inch Flat Nose Plier delivers wide flat jaws on a lap-joint pivot, giving HVAC and sheet-metal workers a stable two-handed bending grip the offset-handle plier was designed to provide. The wide jaw face spreads pressure evenly across thin material so you can fold ductwork seams and bend metal flashing without the dimpling pinch-style needle nose pliers leave behind.
Use it for forming sheet-metal ducts, locking hems, gripping flat stock, bending wire, and pulling staples or nails the slip-joint can’t hold. The forged high-carbon C1080 steel handles the daily abuse of a tinner’s bag and the laser-heat-treated gripping surface bites without slipping when you torque a stubborn fold square.
Channellock has been making pliers in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 1886 and the company still forges every plier in the same American factory under five generations of family ownership. The 718 carries Channellock’s full lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
