CHANNELLOCK® High Leverage End Cutting Pliers incorporate Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT™), which reduces cutting effort by positioning the rivet closer to the cutting edge, requiring significantly less force than conventional high leverage tools. Advanced laser heat treating ensures a consistently hardened cutting edge for enhanced durability and strength. Designed with a slimmer, lighter, and better-balanced profile, these pliers deliver superior performance and accessibility. Made in the USA from forged high-carbon steel coated for exceptional rust resistance, they feature precision-machined knife and anvil cutting edges for optimal cutting efficiency, complemented by CHANNELLOCK BLUE® grips for comfortable use.
