"Channel Locks" is a brand name and only an ignorant SOB who doesn't
know anything about "the industry" would call them that <SEG>. Channel
Locks, water pump pliers, or pipe pliers. I've heard all used about
equally. The ones in my toolbox are Channel Lock brand. (My adjustable
open end wrenches are Crescent brand)
