Ugghhh.......Ahhhhhh!
5 Stars
Ugghhh.......Ahhhhhh!
Me: DIY homeowner, easy on tools and tool storage. Tool= Channellock 440 pliers. Upon opening package and attempting to use on a plastic drain threaded joint connector, the pliers did not open and close smoothly. There was binding and sticking, making it difficult to secure the pliers in any of the channel grooves. A simple job for these pliers became difficult. I know from previous experience Channellock tools never disappoint. Rather than return the pliers I lubricated the channel grooves with light Superlube grease (purchased on Amazon previously) and this made the pliers operate very smoothly, and locking in any channel was a breeze. Plumbing job completed thanks to Channellock pliers 440. Also made in USA appreciated.
