Features Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT) requires considerably less force than traditional designs(view larger).
Part of Channellock’s E Series, the 8-inch E318 Long Nose Plier features a sleeker design and Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT) that positions the rivet closer to the cutting edge — requiring considerably less force required to cut than traditional high leverage designs. The streamlined design is longer for precise handling, while the pipe grip design accommodates many shapes. It also offers a lighter weight for easier handling.
Each E Series plier includes the same quality features that generations of Channellock users have come to expect: knife-and-anvil cutting edges to ensure proper cutting edge alignment and clean cuts; cross-hatched jaws for improved grip; laser-heat treated cutting edges for extended durability. Channellock uses high carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention. It’s completed by Channellock’s iconic blue handle, which is both comfortable in your hand and easy to spot in your tool bag.
