Choosing Channellock pliers and snips
Match the tool to the task first. Tongue and groove pliers adjust to a range of sizes on nuts, pipe and fittings, and the larger Nutbuster and BigAzz handle bigger work. Cutting pliers and snips are made for cutting only, so keep them for the material they are meant for. Aviation snips come in left, right and straight cut versions, plus offset and bulldog patterns for different cutting positions. The insulated models are marked in the title (3218, 3238, 3248 and the PG-2 set). Before using any tool near live equipment, check the rating on the data sheet or ask us. Always check the data sheet.
