What we all like to call channel locks are actually adjustable tongue and groove pliers like the ones on the Channellock web site

Maybe channellock invented or patented the design and the brand became the name of the tool?
Definitely not any kind of pliers .
If you have an extra prop nut. Just tighten them together on the engine shaft. Hold the outer nut with a wrench, and unscrew the prop. by hand.
Just hold the double ended broken prop with the channel locks and unscrew the nuts with a box wrench.
causing hydraulic lock , and sticking something in the exhaust port is just to much damn work for me to even try doing this to free a nut.
JessieJ we don't agree, I can care less about some marks on the hub, the nut , the engine block , etc . I am not that prissy to worry about small marks on the hub VS worring about getting back in the air.
I have broken both ends off of a prop only once, and I think I just held the prop with my hand and turn the nut with a box wrench to get it off , GL.
