CHANNELLOCK  Made In The USA

Channellock tools have always had a reputation of being tough!

Many of my friends who are professional tradesmen swear by the Channellock quality and their 100% guarantee against breakage and failure.

I’ve been using Channellock tools for 20 years and keep several pairs of each tool on hand. For example, I keep a pair in my truck, my job site tool trailer and my workshop! I even have a pair at the police station in my desk!

The size, grip strength and flexibility of use of these tools are unsurpassed. I’ve never worn out my Channellock cutting pliers, only replacing the ones I have lost.

Channellock has been making quality tools since 1886. They recently created a new interactive website which has a short video on how they make their tools here in the U.S.A. It’s interesting and very entertaining check out the company’s unique manufacturing process and the story behind its trademarked CHANNELLOCK BLUE® handles.

The folks at Channellock recently sent me a set of tools to evaluate. I will be giving a duplicate set of these tools away this week. click here for the Channellock Giveaway
