Channellock 516 6-Inch Thin Nose Slip Joint Plier

I have many Channellock pliers and the quality has been great on all of them. These slip joints (516’s) have a thinner nose and it makes it easier to get into places that you couldn’t with the standard slip joints. I find my self reaching for these first if I need a slip joint.
They are made in the U.S. and the quality is leaps and bounds above the Far East imports I’ve seen that inhabit most mega marts and DIY centers.
