Channellock 348 XLT Combination Linemen's Pliers 8-Inch High Carbon Steel Made in USA

The Channellock 348 is an 8-inch XLT Combination Linemen's Plier built for professionals who demand maximum cutting power with minimal effort. Featuring Channellock's proprietary Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT), the rivet is positioned closer to the cutting edge so significantly less force is required compared to traditional high-leverage designs — reducing hand fatigue on demanding jobs.

Key Features:

• Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT): Rivet placement closer to the cutting edge delivers superior leverage and reduced hand fatigue
• Laser Heat-Treated Cutting Edges: State-of-the-art laser heat treatment produces a strong, consistent hardness pattern across the cutting edge for longer life than traditional hardening methods
• Precision Knife and Anvil Cutting System: Precision-machined mating surfaces ensure clean, reliable cuts and extended cutting edge longevity
• Crosshatch Jaw Pattern: Maximizes grip on wire, cable, and fasteners while extending jaw life
• Pipe Grip Feature: Additional jaw geometry accommodates round, square, and irregular shapes
