TONGUE-AND-GROOVE PLIERS
From working with tiny parts to turning rusted fasteners or holding pieces of wood firmly while you cut, gripping tools are indispensable helpers.

By: Dan Weeks

Adjustable jaws on these Channel Lock pliers allow you to grip large-diameter items securely. Long handles further amplify your leverage. Grab this tool for taking apart plumbing to unclog drains and for holding large items while working on them.
