Channellock 317 Long Nose Plier with Side Cutter — 8″ Needle Nose — Made in Meadville, Pennsylvania by Channellock since 1886. Drop-forged American high-carbon steel pliers with laser-heat-treated cutters and knurled jaws that grip without slipping. The professional plier standard for electricians, plumbers, and mechanics.
Channellock has been forging hand tools in Meadville, PA since the company was founded in 1886 by George DeArment. Today it remains 5th-generation family-owned, with every plier drop-forged from 1080 high-carbon steel at the same Pennsylvania facility. Patented Code Blue grip material absorbs vibration without slipping in wet or oily conditions.
Made for everyday electrical work, plumbing rough-in, automotive, and general repair. Lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship. The 440 series tongue-and-groove pliers alone outsell most of the competition — for good reason.
