The Channellock 428 is the 8-inch entry in the brand’s flagship straight-jaw Tongue & Groove line — sized between the 6.5″ 426 and the 9.5″ 420. The 8-inch length is the right pick for users who find the 426 too small for confident grip but the 420 too long for tight access.
Forged from high-carbon steel with heat-treated teeth that grip without slipping. Multi-position adjustment locks at each step under torque, and the comfortable handle balance reduces hand fatigue across long jobs.
Channellock has been forging pliers in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 1886 — the original American tongue-and-groove plier maker. Every standard Channellock SKU is forged from high-carbon steel and made in the USA on the same Pennsylvania equipment for over a century.
