I have Knipex and the Channellock Grip locks. As well has the crosshatch push button design.This thing feels tanky. It has a very stout grip and thick handles. The comfort grip is great.Depending on what you are doing with the pliers these might be better or worse. It has a wider grip than knipex, but might not fit in as tight of spaces. The teeth are designed to lock in one direction but will still grip well in the opposite direction far better than the knipex. The only added benefit is the top of the jaws on the channellock is good for smoothing out and removing burrs in piping.Also the 442x is still cheaper than the cobra 250s and is USA made.

They are great speed grip style plyers. A little bigger than others in its class.

Button indexing is faster. Jaws actually open WIDER than original Model 442 ! Jaw teeth a slight, unimportant variation 99% identical. Upgraded version of Chk M 442 is worth considering.I endorse this version.

These grip round items great. Will one jaw shape do it all? Maybe and maybe not. Will these toothy jaws replace my smooth jaws pliers wrench or smooth jaws parrot nose pliers or adjustable wrench set ?Note: I wear mens XL gloves.Fully closed jaws the handles are a handful to grip. The handles do get closer together as the jaws are separated.The handle grip feels very comfortable but is a little smooth. I wear Milwaukee Nitrile work gloves for a super grip.The jaws grips round items great but longer jaws would be nicer.Play with the pliers jaw and try several item diameters to see and feel the maximum tooth contact.My opinion only. The jaws have a sweet spot diameter gripping range for maximum tooth contact.

I like these because they are rugged and the adjustment mechanism works well. It doesn't have any play but it also does not get stuck in a groove, or between grooves when adjusting.These pliers have more squared off handles compared to some others. On more substantial tools like this I like the squared off handles because they give more surface area to push on.If you want to feel all European and "efficient" and "disciplined" buy the Knipex.If you want to feel masculine and powerful, buy these. Also you will be supporting some of the few people left in this country who still make stuff.

Overall these are a great option for v-jaw pliers. Using these for general construction and property maintenance, I ended up keeping these over the Knipex Cobras. These Channellocks are a much more robust (heavier, wider jaw/clamping surface, bigger grips, etc).If I were carrying tools all day, I probably would've kept the Knipex version to save on weight/space. That said, when I use this type of plier I'm usually doing rough/demo work on stuck and rusted parts, so I wanted the version that could offer the most strength/leverage. When I'm concerned about marring a surface, I use the adjustable CL (CodeBlue version) or Knipex Pliers Wrench.My only critiques of these are that the fit and finish is pretty bad and the push button requires a bit of force to engage. Out of the package there are several 'chipped' and 'brushed/scratched' parts of the metal. I plan on beating these up so the initial blemishes aren't a major concern. Eventually I hope they offer a 8" version.

I have all 3 of the straight Jaw version of these pliers. And I decided to give these pliers a try .They are new to me since they have a v-jaw and are not straight like the first style of pliers made of this series of channellocks out. I like that they quickly adjust like the straight Jaw pair and that they are v-notched. I can't wait until they arrive to go straight to my tinkering shop and try them out. I want to see if they compare to my regular 440's or v-notched version from channellocks. Also to consider if they'll be my go to pair of pliers. I like that they are made in the United States (as most of klien and ideal tools). I know that they will come in handy for jobs at hand to tightening fasteners and plumbing work. I by the looks of these pliers see nothing wrong with these pliers but when I test them out time will tell if they are good as some of these reviews say that they are. I know that they will cause I own quite a few pliers and tools made in the United States and haven't failed me yet. Get a pair and try them out for yourself if you are game to. I never (in my lifetime) had a made in USA pair of pliers or tools fail me yet.
