The Channellock 317 Long Nose Plier with Side Cutter pairs a tapered 8-inch needle-nose with an integrated wire-cutting edge so you can pick, twist, and snip without setting one tool down to grab another. The serrated tip grips small wire ends, terminals, and cotter pins, while the inboard cutter slices through copper, soft steel, and electrical wire without leaving the burr a flush cutter often does.
Use it for electrical work, automotive wiring, jewelry repair, terminal crimps, picking debris from tight spaces, twisting cotter pins, and any pinch-and-snip job where a separate plier and cutter would be one tool too many. The forged high-carbon C1080 steel keeps the tip alignment true through years of work, and the laser-heat-treated cutting edge holds an edge longer than chrome-vanadium imports.
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 317 carries Channellock’s full lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
