What man doesn’t like tools?
My husband is an auto mechanic and when we were purchasing his tools he was VERY adamant about purchasing Snap On, Matco, and other expensive “professional” brands. He had a long list of tools that were required to fill his HUGE tool chests and one of the things on his list was “Channellocks”. I asked him about that and he said that all pliers were pretty much referred to as Channellocks in the industry because they are the REAL thing and Snap On and other tool companies try to replicate them. He made it clear that Channellock set the bar for all other companies and if you look in his toolbox you will find an entire drawer dedicated to the brand.
Some of his Channellocks
In celebration of Channellocks’ 125th year in business we are giving away CHANNELLOCK® Tool Roll No. 3 Gift Set to one lucky reader at Life with Lisa.
