Channellock Inc 432 Tongue Groove Pliers 10 Inches

Product Description

The CHANNELLOCK INC 432 is a 10-inch tongue and groove plier designed for gripping, turning, and holding pipe, fittings, and round stock. Built with a V-jaw profile, the 432 delivers multiple points of contact on round and irregular surfaces, reducing slip during high-torque applications. Laser heat-treated teeth maintain a sharp, durable grip over extended service life. The patented reinforcing edge strengthens the jaw area against deformation under load. A Permalock fastener replaces the traditional nut-and-bolt pivot, eliminating the failure point most common in heavy-use channel-lock style pliers. Blue dipped grips provide comfort and control. Maximum jaw opening is 2 inches.

The 432 is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical work in both residential and light commercial settings. Plumbers use this tool for tightening and loosening threaded fittings, supply line nuts, and drain connections. HVAC technicians reach for tongue and groove pliers when working with refrigerant line fittings, condensate components, and mechanical fasteners on equipment access panels. The undercut tongue and groove design allows quick jaw adjustment without disassembly, keeping workflow efficient on the job.
