Or do like you and don't use them at all! ;)

Oh I see. I would be interested in maybe trying that. NOne of us here use the CHannel locks..I was even in an INNOVA meeting at my LQS one time ( all innova users meet once a month) and asked about their CL. They didn't even know what their channel locks looked like?? We all use rulers to do our straight lines. That is just how I learned..So it is easier.
