As mentioned in the post, these wrenches are made in Spain, and it has been confirmed that Irega is the OEM manufacturer.

Despite not being made in the USA, these are some great adjustable wrenches.

I don’t recall Channellock making their own adjustable wrenches, meaning it is unlikely that any USA jobs were lost in their decision to choose a Spanish supplier to make the adjustables.

I like the sturdy look of the wrench. You have no idea how many wrenches I destroyed over the years.

We were fairly certain that Irega was the OEM for Channellock, but didn’t know that Irega also supplied Beta and the other mentioned brands. Thanks for the information!

Many adjustable wrench makers have been creating these “wide-mouth” versions without the added length and weight associated with them.

Irega in Spain is the OEM for this Channellock, as well as Signet, Hazet, USAG, and Beta.
