   Channel Lock

   Used 'm for 30 years, they work. Don't know Klein except the name - should be a good tool, but who needs to experiment when you already got what works?

   Channellock for slip-joint pliers. Klein for electrical tools and their 12-in-1 screwdriver.

   I like the craftsman with the flush rivet, means you can get in really close and flat when needed. Hold up well too.

   I've known guys who have carried the same Klein tools for 10+ years, and some who have a pair that their daddy gave them before that. Never seen that with Channelock but I own several pairs that are going on four years now.

    One of each in both brands. That way there will always be one handy. Can't go wrong either way, I say.
