The Channellock 480 BIGAZZ Tongue and Groove Plier is the oversized member of the family, a 20.25-inch frame with a 5.5-inch jaw capacity built for fittings, pump bodies, and filter housings the standard 12-inch can’t open. The straight jaw with 90-degree teeth bites without slipping, and the long handles deliver the leverage that makes the difference between cracking a stuck fitting and fighting it for an hour.
Use it for irrigation supply lines, well pumps, oversized PVC and steel pipe couplings, large oil filter housings, RV black-tank fittings, and any oversized round work where a smaller tongue and groove plier just won’t open wide enough. The forged high-carbon C1080 steel handles the torque you put through the long handles, and the undercut tongue and groove keeps the jaw from kicking out under heavy load.
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 480 BIGAZZ carries Channellock’s full lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
