Channellock Multi-Fit (Dog Bone) Socket Wrenches

Channellock Multi-Fit Dog Bone Wrenches

Spotted these Channellock-branded “Multi-Fit 8-in-1” dog bone socket wrenches over at the local BJs Wholesale Club. If I recall correctly, the set was around $20 or less.

You won’t find these tools in Channellock’s main catalog, and they’re not made in the USA, but they seem to be of reasonable quality.

    Costco has the Thorsen version of these for $17. While I think they are useful in a pinch they are very heavy and bulky.

    I agree with you, JeffD. The dogbone wrench does appear to be handy, but it is very heavy and bulky. I can’t imagine any circumstance that it would have an advantage over a set of combination wrenches. Personally, I think it’s a novelty.

    So that is how B&D is recovering their investment in this stupid tool… if you aren’t successful selling it under your own brand, just license it to everyone else in order to make money!

    Actually, B&D’s design is different – theirs has 16 sizes represented in 8 sockets. These are similar (identical) to the older style dog bone multi socket wrenches that are sold under the Thorsen & Craftsman brands these days.

    KMR, This wrench design has been around for 50 years or more. It wasn’t B&D baby. The ones from Craftsman, Thorsen and Channellock all come from the same sorce. They are identical other than the lazer etching. Even the ones at Harbor Freight still have Thorsen on them. This is just one of those things that shows up about every 15 years and dies out within a few years. No with so many oil change places that use these now they may stick around a little longer but they will prob die out in the big box stores within a few years but they will be building them on a smaller production amount. I have one in standard and metric. They may not be the most optimal tool and it certainly won’t replace a socket set or wrench set but they do make a good addition to a roadbox, junkyard box. I know several people who have landscaping business that carry one to cover mower blade removal and minor repairs. Most mowers have plenty of room to work and when having to work in the grass you don’t have but one tool to keep up with. 15-20 for the pair isn’t a bad invesment
