[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these to replace a lost pair of channel locks. What's different than traditional channel locks is that you get a much more adjustable jaw that's easier to use with one hand. It is also more precise because of its adjustability. Strength is not compromised. Use them daily as Building maintenance technician and couldnt be happier. Only downside is that sometimes the button gets stuck or doesnt release all the way. Bought them separately and not as a 2 pack.
