Marketing InformationChannellock® high leverage end cutting pliers feature Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT™) which makes cutting easier than ever. By positioning the rivet closer to the cutting edge, considerably less force is required to cut than other high leverage designs. State of the art laser heat treating offers a strong and consistent pattern across the cutting edge for increased strength and longevity. These pliers also offer a slimmer, lighter and better balanced design for maximum performance and accessibility. Channellock® end cutting pliers are made in USA and forged from high carbon US steel that is specially coated for ultimate rust prevention.
