Pliers are one of those tool box basics that never really stop being useful. Whether you’re a DIYer, contractor, mechanic, gearhead, homeowner, or weekend project person, there’s always something that needs to be gripped, twisted, held, pulled, tightened, or adjusted. From plumbing fixes and furniture assembly to automotive repairs, lawn equipment maintenance, garage projects, and general household work, a good set of pliers is easy to justify, especially when you can snag a top brand at a great price.
For a limited time, you can get the Craftsman 2-Piece Pliers Set on sale at Amazon for just $17, nearly a 30% discount off its normal price. It includes 8-inch and 10-inch groove joint pliers, typically referred to as channel locks, giving you two useful sizes for different jobs around the house, garage, shop, or jobsite. The smaller pair is handy when space is tighter, while the larger pair gives you more reach and leverage when you need extra grip.
Audience FavoriteCraftsman makes these pliers from drop-forged steel for strength and durability, and the precision-machined jaws are designed for secure gripping and holding. That makes them useful for grabbing oddly shaped hardware, turning fittings, holding parts in place, twisting material, and handling plenty of everyday repair tasks. The multi-zone, bi-material grips add comfort and control, which matters when you’re leaning into a stubborn fitting or using them for longer projects.
For only $17, this is a simple brand name tool set that can fill a gap in a starter kit, add backup pliers to a work truck, or upgrade the random old pair sitting in the bottom of a tool box.
“Who doesn’t love Craftsman? These are nice, solid, and durable,”said one happy Craftsman user. “I bought them recently, but expect to have them for a lifetime.”
A second buyer said, “I have been lost not having these types of pliers in my tool box for a long time. The two different sizes are ideal for the general DIYers tool box.”
