Product Description

The CHANNELLOCK INC 442 is a 12-inch V-jaw multi-purpose tongue and groove plier built for plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general trade use. The plier features laser heat-treated teeth that resist wear and maintain grip under heavy torque loads. With a 2.25-inch jaw capacity and 7 adjustment positions, it handles a wide range of pipe sizes, fittings, and fasteners without requiring a tool change. Plastic grip handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use. This is a professional-grade hand tool designed for daily service work across plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC applications.

The 442 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where a reliable, full-size tongue and groove plier is required. Common applications include gripping and turning pipe, tightening packing nuts, removing fittings, and general fastener work. The 7-position adjustment range makes it adaptable to both small-diameter fittings and larger pipe work encountered on HVAC and plumbing service calls. It is sold in a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for stocking a service fleet or supply room.
