The Channellock E458 8-Inch Side-Cutting Pliers combines a gripping nose with a center-cutting knife edge, so it twists, pulls, and shears wire in one tool. The high-leverage rivet placement multiplies cutting force, and the improved high-alloy steel keeps the edge sharp through repeated use.
The forged frame is hardened for strength and balanced for control, and the design suits electrical, fencing, and general jobsite work. It is built to take daily abuse and keep cutting clean.
Channellock has forged hand tools in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 1886 — these pliers are made in the USA from American high-carbon steel.
