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
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
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
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?
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 just came out with a new style of ratcheting wrenches. Each wrench features four ratcheting box end sizes, making the tools great for compact and on-the-go tool kits. There are two sets, SAE and metric, and each set includes two wrenches that cover a 8 wrench sizes.
Channellock’s Improved High Leverage Linemen’s Pliers
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
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
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.
Channellock’s Reforged Website
Channellock has redesigned their website to accommodate new features and to provide a more interactive experience. The new layout is cleancut, and the product directory looks to be very detailed yet easy to navigate.
