Overview
The Channellock 426 is a single plier with alloy steel handles, weighing 0.33 pounds.
Channellock has built its reputation specifically on pliers, and the 426 continues that focus as a standalone tool rather than part of a bundled set. The listing confirms alloy steel handles and overall weight but does not state jaw type or overall length, so buyers matching a specific job should check those specs elsewhere. At about a third of a pound, it sits in the range typical for a hand plier rather than a heavier lineman's tool.
- Channellock brand, plier specialist
- Alloy steel handle, 0.33 lb
- 4.7 average rating
Who it's for
Suited to someone who needs one dependable plier from a specialist brand rather than a full tool roll. Less suited to buyers who need to confirm jaw style, such as slip joint versus long nose, before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Alloy steel handle construction
- Jaw type and overall length not listed
- Sold as a single tool, not a set
Performance notes
Alloy steel handles and a 0.33 pound weight put the 426 in the range of a standard hand plier rather than a heavy-duty lineman's tool, favoring maneuverability over maximum leverage.
