Channlok 317 Long Nose Side Cutting Plier 8 Inch

Product Description

The CHANNLOK 317 is a long nose side-cutting plier with an integrated cutter, built for professional electrical, HVAC, and plumbing work where precision gripping and wire cutting in tight spaces are required. The jaw measures 2.36 inches in length by 0.87 inches in width and features cross-hatched teeth for a secure, non-slip grip on wires, fittings, and small components. The overall length is 8 inches. The jaw is constructed from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed for repeated cutting and gripping tasks on the job.

The CHANNLOK 317 is suited for residential and light commercial service work. Electricians use long nose pliers with side cutters for routing, bending, and trimming wire in panel boxes, junction boxes, and conduit runs. HVAC technicians reach for them when working in equipment compartments where standard pliers lack the reach. Plumbers use them to grip and position components in confined spaces. The 8-inch overall length gives adequate leverage without being unwieldy in restricted access areas.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize circuits and confirm zero voltage with a meter before using pliers on or near electrical conductors. Follow NEC requirements for the work being performed. Inspect the cutting edge before each use and do not use damaged or sprung pliers. These pliers are a hand tool and do not require calibration, but should be kept clean and lightly oiled at the pivot to maintain smooth operation.
