The best quality for the money
These Channellock 338's are probably the best cutting pliers you can get for the price. They do not have the finest finish (see images) compared to the top tier German and Japan alternatives, but they are not 2x the price either. The blades are perfectly aligned with no gap, they cut through the recommended wire/metal gauges with ease, and they feel solid and durable. Time will tell how long they last, but my first impressions are great. The images you see are right out of package, with the initial grease cleaned off.

6" review
I ordered the 6 inch as I already have the 8 or 10 inch ones at home Excellent quality. I love this brand and that is why I purchased these 6 inch ones. I do not like the 6 inch and I sent back. The tool is the perfect size in length I wanted, but the jaw/mouth of these are tiny. If you have a normal size ziptie they would barely be big enough to cut in one snip. Not sure what they designed these for.... fishing string? Again, great quality, just not the ones i was looking for.

Can't go wrong with Channellocks
Have several different brands and sizes of diagonal cutters, but Channellock always outperforms the others. Very well made, smooth motion, and can last forever.

Ive used these since I was 14. Im 67 now.
Trusty CL 337..... Solid tool, great action- fits my hand. Perhaps it is just 50 years of muscle memory, but ive lost count of how many I have gone thorough over the years. A dozen? Still the same tool.
