The Channellock 412 is a 6.5-inch tongue and groove plier with a 0.94-inch jaw capacity. It is forged from high-carbon U.S. steel and uses Channellock’s V-jaw design, undercut tongue and groove adjustment, and PERMALOCK fastener.
The V-shaped jaws grip round stock and tubing at multiple contact points instead of the two contact points a flat jaw provides, which reduces rounding on nuts and fittings. The undercut tongue and groove adjustment locks the jaws against slipping under load, and the PERMALOCK fastener replaces a traditional nut and bolt so the joint cannot back off. 90-degree laser-hardened teeth hold their bite over time, and the steel is coated for rust resistance.
This size is suited to small plumbing fittings, hose connections, compression nuts, battery terminals, and similar work where a technician needs a firm grip on round or irregular shapes in a compact plier.
Channellock has manufactured pliers in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 1886, and the 412 is forged from U.S. steel and made in the USA.
