Channellock Inc 338 Diagonal Cutting Plier 8 Inches

Product Description

The CHANNELLOCK INC 338 is an 8-inch high-leverage diagonal cutting plier built for demanding cutting tasks in electrical, HVAC, and general trade work. It features a knife-and-anvil style cutting edge that promotes precise mating between the blades, extending cutting edge life and reducing hand fatigue on repetitive jobs. The jaws are laser heat treated for lasting sharpness, and the body is forged from high-carbon C1080 steel with a rust-prevention coating. This tool is suited for licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers who need a reliable, heavy-duty diagonal cutter for wire, cable, and similar materials.

The 338 is designed for residential and commercial trade applications where consistent, clean cuts are required. Its high-leverage lap joint design multiplies cutting force, making it effective on heavier gauge wire and cable. The rust-prevention coating makes it suitable for jobsites and service environments where tools are exposed to moisture and varying conditions. Electricians will find it particularly useful for cutting copper conductors, while HVAC and plumbing techs will appreciate its durability in multi-trade settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose diagonal cutting plier suitable for electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and related trade applications requiring an 8-inch high-leverage cutter.

Installation Notes

Diagonal cutting pliers are a hand tool used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers and require no special installation. Always de-energize circuits and verify zero voltage with a meter before cutting any electrical conductors. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and do not use damaged or misaligned pliers. Store in a dry location to preserve the rust-prevention coating.
