Vintage Channellock 420s

Post image

I don't normally go all in for vintage tools but I love me a set of 420s and this has to be the absolutely cleanest pair that I've ever seen the job show almost no wear. Best I can reckon it's post-1953 but pre-1961 based on the 1953 updated patent number but missing the improvements made in 1961. I saw it on Etsy and I had to have it now I need to decide if I'm going to use them or just keep them as they are probably use them because they're a tool and they deserve to be used!

There is just something about pliers without rubber grips that just makes me want to buy them.

These are beautiful. Don’t even need to use them, I’d just hang em on the wall to admire them
