Channel locks are not wrenches--they are pliers. The guy who had my job before I did apparently did not know the difference, either.

10 years later I am still finding nuts, bolts, and hardware that looks like a dog chewed on them . . . and used them for everything.... flame


Anyone have these? Sort of channel lock’ish, plyer/wrench . . . Absolutely love them, though I don’t believe I’ve ever used them as a wrench in a traditional sense. Used them heaps for holding things, flattening a bent (fill in the blank), and even pressing one small piece to another (incrementally of course since the adjustments have a limited jaw motion). Best part is they have a smooth jaw and don’t leave any chewed up surface.
