Not all cutting edges are the same. The 8-inch Channellock 338 Diagonal Cutting Plier uses precision machined knife and anvil style cutting edges to ensure perfect mating and superior cutting edge life. Channellock uses high carbon C1080 steel for superior performance on the job, and an electronic coating for ultimate rust prevention. It's completed by Channellock's iconic blue handle, which is both comfortable in your hand and easy to spot in your tool bag.
High leverage cutter with lap joint diagonal(view larger).
The 338 can cut piano wire (0.063- to 0.091-inch thick), hard wire (0.047- to 0.091-inch), medium hard wire (0.047- to 0.091-inch), and soft wire (0.162-inch maximum diameter).
Channellock utilizes precision-machined knife and anvil style cutting edges to ensure perfect mating and superior cutting edge life. While most manufactureres use two sharp edges that can become misaligned and lose their cutting effectiveness, Channellock's knife and anvil cutters give you proper cutting edge alignment for a clean cut every time. The edge is also laser hardened for unprecedented edge life.

Channellock cutters works differently than other pairs of cutter. Instead of having two blades, they work on the "knife and anvil" principle. There is actually only one sharp blade, the other side is just a tapered, flat surface for what you're cutting to rest on as the other side is cutting through. It cuts as well, if not better, than traditional two blades cutters. It can cut fibrery things such as ropes or kevlar without problem. I found that the blade tend to get less damage when you're cutting harder stuff such as nails, instead of leaving a dent on both blades, there is only a smaller dent on one side. I was worried that because it only cut on one side that it wouldn't work well for stripping small gauge cables(such as phone cables), but they still work decently for that.
One thing I also found is that the knife and anvil design actually allows you to cut zipties as flush a it gets; typically, side cutters aren't the best tools for cutting zipties as they leave 1/32 to 1/16th inch long nib out of the head, which result in sharp cut zipties that will scratch your arms. It's usually best to use flush cutters because of that. With the channellock, you can rest the non-cutting blade on the side of the ziptie head and the cutting blade next to the ziptie end, at an angle, as if you were to cut the head at 45°, and have the knife literally shave that ziptie end from the head, leaving a perfectly flush and smooth smooth ziptie cut. No other side cutters can do that!
Overall, a great buy, would definitely buy then again if my pair ever get lost or stolen. I've been using them extensively for 6 months now and they still look and works as new. They should last many years.
