I am a channel locks fan but a guy at my work, (I do industrial electric work) had 2 pairs of the Doyle 12 inch pliers like the channel locks and he let me use them and I couldn't tell any difference in performance of the pliers.. I went and bought 2 pairs of Doyle slip groove, channel lock style pliers and I love them things..
I have the multiple electricians pliers (Doyle) strippers, cutters, crimper, bolt cutters and long nose tip. As per their add they compare to the Klein version and come close to them or equal to them. There are 2 different things to the pliers 1. They are made in USA 🇺🇸 the Klein version and these are made in Taiwan 🇹🇼 and the Kleins are $10-20 more than the Doyle's I have both versions as well as Milwaukee, southwire, kobalt version and husky version and Walmarts hart version and they all work great. They are (the Doyle pliers) my go to pliers so's not to get my good ones stolen or ripped off.
I own several of those Doyle and I love them I got the die cutters but... Mine have a curve to them and are really really handy, I've used mine for about a year now I only warrantied one because i smacked really really hard on the rivet and got jammed xD.... But I loved them so much I also got the 12" ,14",16" channel lock style also and will get the 8" ones to
Great video! I recently purchased a few different sets of Doyle pliers from Harbor Freight. I too am impressed by the quality of these tools! Though made in Taiwan I find that they're actually much better finished than current Channel Lock pliers which have sharp edges and drips and runs in the sealant they apply over the metal.
Can only speak for the pump pliers, but the joint is their Achilles's heel. When used daily, they get real sloppy, real quickly. I'm two months in on a pair and they're loose as all hell. In all fairness, though.. I use them as a hammer quite a bit.
Well done sir! I been looking for reviews on all of H/F's tools and so far for their screwdrivers the Quinns are the best and now the Doyles for pliers.Thanks again for doing this video.👍👍
My experience with the Doyle V Jaw slip joints is not optimal. The mechanism is super sloppy on mine and I'll be returning for a better unit or refund if I can ever remember to bring them.
Picked up those needle nose this weekend cause I lost mine. Don’t use em a lot, but their pretty damn nice for $11. Plus, you can get those 20% off coupons all the time, making them less than $10. I’m wanting to get a box for my house to do my own vehicle maintenance, and I plan on adding Doyle’s pliers to it when I get it done.
I just bought a generator last week so my new toolbox is on hold. My two boxes are so old. My Matco I bought in 1984 and my Mac in 1994. Time for a upgrade.
Hwy 58? In Chattanooga? Anyway, I'm a huge Doyle fan. For the money, they hold up perfect for what I do. I'm a DIY tool user. I work on my own cars and my own appliances. I recently picked up two new socket sets. A TEKTON 3/8 and 1/4. Both are no skip master sets. The quality compared to the price is incredible. Should last me as long as I need it to. I learned a few years ago to start looking for tolls made in Taiwan rather than tools made in China. Of course I will buy american-made, German made etc when I can but that's not always the most sensible. Thanks for the review, Cheers

Nice seeing them compared with their Mac counterpart. I’m also a fan of the Doyle line, hoping they add more choices.
Also where it's made don't matter what matters is the company and their commitment to quality control
how are the Doyle's holding up 2 years later?
So far so good. Haven't had to replace any of them yet.
@@ivesman2000 good news. I love it when myths are debunked
Harbour Freight has Doyle made in Taiwan awesome quality 5stars..Doyle made in china 4 stars
Another difference is that Mac is made in the United States and Doyle Taiwan
You got a point there. But a lot of people that work From home canterford mac tools
Wow let me try that again. I'm using talk to text. A lot of people that work from home can not afford mac tools so it is a good alternative
Thickness of tools can sometimes indicate a lessor grade alloy used to produce the tool.

What does "get real sloppy" mean
Nice van
Doyle is the HF version copy of Klein.

Did you find your snap on cutters?
They replicated Channellock with these pliers
