Jul 7, 2011 Stuart 10 Comments

During a recent trip to Walmart I was surprised to see Channellocks on the peg. Is this a new development?

Channellock Linemen’s Pliers: High Leverage vs. Older Versions

Sep 13, 2010 Stuart Discuss

As we previously reported, Channellock has recently introduced an improved version of their #369 linemen’s pliers. We have one in-hand and wondered how it differed from Channellock’s previous design. Channellock says that they moved the rivet closer to the cutter to provide the additional leverage, but it also looks like the new rivet is a bit […]

Channellock Wire Crimper Tool

Sep 9, 2010 Stuart 11 Comments

I found myself needing to upgrade from the wire crimpers found on my all-in-one wire stripper tool. During a stroll through the local home improvement store, I found a few affordable options and ultimately chose Channellock’s 909 crimpers. I’ve been working with terminals and butt connectors more often, but not enough to justify the purchase of a costly crimper. […]

Channellock 4-in-1 Combo Ratcheting Wrenches Reviewed

Sep 7, 2010 Stuart 3 Comments

A few weeks ago we introduced Channellock’s new 4-in-1 ratcheting wrenches. These wrenches feature four sizes in a single wrench, which each end sharing the ratcheting mechanism. This makes the wrenches light and compact, and we couldn’t wait to put them through some rough and intense testing.

Your Go-To Adjustable Wrench?

Aug 24, 2010 Stuart 11 Comments

We have been having a bit of discussion lately as to what constitutes a “normal” adjustable wrench. In my mind, a normal wrench may not necessarily be a good one. You know the kind, those 3-for-$15 sets you find at the bargain bin at the local home improvement store during peak winter holiday and Father’s Day […]

Channellock’s Improved High Leverage Linemen’s Pliers

Aug 13, 2010 Stuart 1 Comment

Channellock has recently introduced new and improved 9.5″ linemen’s pliers (#369). Their design engineers moved the plier’s pivot rivet closer to the cutter surfaces, giving the tool greater leverage and cutting power. This tool also features cross-hatched jaw serrations, a grooved crushing area, and knife-anvil style cutters (preferred over double-sharp cutters). These cutters can be used […]

Channellock Ratcheting Wrenches

Jul 21, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

Soon after we posted about Channellock’s Dog Bone style wrenches, I thought back to a few months ago when I spotted Channellock-branded ratcheting wrenches. These wrenches were also found at a discount wholesale club, and although I don’t recall the exact price, it was possibly in the $25-30 range for the 7-piece set.

Channellock Multi-Fit (Dog Bone) Socket Wrenches

Jul 15, 2010 Stuart 5 Comments

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.
