I really like those little Channies!
They've been pretty handy so far.
There's no teeth or texture of any kind inside the jaws, but that hasn't been a problem.

I'd like it if there were teeth, but really my only complaint is the spring but those are easy to just take out and toss.
I just don't like spring loaded pliers,  especially in precision situations.
Having to fight spring pressure just makes it more difficult to finagle whatever small thing I'm fiddling with.

OMG, you seriously dump the spring!  :a102:
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

Yep,I hate spring loaded pliers unless they lock onto things.

These should prove to be a very nice useful little pair of pliers.
