The Channellock 526 is a 6-inch slip joint plier with a two-position adjustment, serrated gripping jaw, an integrated wire-cutting shear, and Channellock’s signature blue-dipped handles. Forged from high-carbon U.S. steel with a rust-resistant coating and the Permalock fastener joint.
Slip joint pliers are the tool a homeowner or tradesman grabs first for a quick grip, a stuck nut, or a light piece of wire to trim. The two-position adjustment handles small and medium fastener sizes without switching tools; the serrated jaw bites hard enough to break a painted-over fitting free. The integrated wire cutter handles soft wire without a second tool on the bench. The Permalock fastener eliminates the nut-and-bolt joint found on cheap pliers — nothing to back out or develop slop.
A daily-carry utility plier for plumbers, electricians, mechanics, and homeowners tackling mixed repair work.
Channellock has forged these pliers in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 1886. The 526 is declared Made in USA on the Amazon listing.
