Oftentimes it is a good idea to have a specific tool for each task, but then again, sometimes it is nice to have tools that can do more than just one thing. With the promise of being able to handle the bulk of your wire prep needs, I think Klein's new J2068C All-Purpose Pliers fall into the latter category.

You have probably seen those Channellock pliers with the red and blue handles on them; well, those tools are part of Channellock's Code Blue line.

Just last week I had to go inside the door panel on my Ford Explorer to try and figure out why the lock mechanism was no longer working and boy is it tight in there. Even though I could see where I needed to work with a flashlight, when it came to doing the actual work, my hand always seemed to cast a shadow. What I needed was hand tools with built in lights.

Channellock has put together a great general purpose tool roll set, and in my opinion it is the best tool set they offer.

Channellock sent me this...

BrandChannellock Model #368 Buy Amazon Not too long ago I review the ChannelLock 9.5” 369 Lineman Pliers, but today I have the new smaller 368 8” version. As I mentioned in my previous review of the 369 Pliers, I am not a professional electrician, and any electrical work that I do is on a small scale. It is because my electrical work is DIY that I prefer the smaller ChannelLock 368's.I simply do not need the added cutting power that the 9.5” version offers. Sacrificing a...

It is no surprise that many, if not most of the tools sold in stores today are knockoffs that are made in China.
