Overview
The Channellock GS-3 is a plier with a plastic handle and a listed weight of 8 ounces, carrying Channellock's long standing name in hand tool pliers for general gripping tasks.
Channellock has built its reputation on gripping hand tools, and the GS-3 model continues that focus with a plastic handled plier weighing 8 ounces. No jaw length, capacity or joint style is published in this listing, so buyers comparing against tongue and groove or slip joint pliers by size will need to check Channellock's own spec sheet.

Who it's for
This suits buyers who want a lightweight, plastic handled plier from an established brand for general gripping tasks around the house or shop. It is less useful for anyone needing a specific jaw capacity or metal handle grip, since neither is confirmed here.
Pros and cons
- Light 8 ounce weight for easy handling
- Plastic handle reduces overall weight
- Channellock brand name in pliers
- Jaw capacity not published
- Plastic handle instead of all metal
- No tooth pattern or joint style listed
Performance notes
At 8 ounces the GS-3 is light enough for extended one handed use, and the plastic handle trades some of the grip feel of an all metal plier for lower weight. Jaw opening and tooth pattern are not listed, so its capacity for larger fasteners or pipe cannot be confirmed from this data.
