What happens here

The Channel Lock 426 pliers are then positioned to grip the hand truck's axle. When 'little fix it' attempts to stand on them, the Channel Locks immediately slip, indicating they cannot hold the same amount of pressure as the Knipex Cobra pliers. The presenter notes the visual difference in jaw structure between the two pliers.

Goal: The Channel Lock 426 pliers are tested for grip strength using the same method, but they fail to hold the weight.

What they say

And it comes off. I use the 426s all the time. Like I love these little pliers. They work very well. And you can see right away that they don't have the same jaw structure as the Kanipex Cobra's. But we're going to see if it'll still do the same grip. Okay, little fix that you're up. So let's see. I don't even think it's going to stay on there. Go ahead and give it a shot. No. No, and all it's doing is actually just taking off my paint. Perfect. Let's try it one more time. No. Okay. Well, that was good. So this is not going to hold like that. So in my opinion, Wrangler Star was right that I'm going to enjoy these pliers. And they're going to work much better than my 426 channel locks. These are still going to serve a purpose in being my tool bag. But these are going to be my everyday carries now. So I'm glad little fix it was able to help out today.
