No tool box is complete without the 8-inch Channellock 528 Slip Joint Plier  — versatile, easy to use, and reliably strong. This plier is built to last with a PermaLock fastener to eliminate nut and bolt failure, a wire cutting shear, and a classic and versatile slip joint design.
Channellock uses high carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention. It's completed by Channellock's iconic blue handle, which is both comfortable in your hand and easy to spot in your tool bag.
