In my electrical wholesale days supplying mines, we had a few brands of pliers. Crescent which were high quality but disappeared, those Marvel were certainly worthy, but the sparkies loved the Channelock, made in the USA, twice the price, but made their job easier
Pretty sure the first pair I purchased in the late 80s were Crescent. They made reasonable screwdrivers too. I havent seen the Channelock for sale anywhere locally, but its been a long time since I have visited an electrical wholesaler.
