Over at Lowes, I came across a Channellock floor display alongside the Holiday and Black Friday 2018 tool deals. It’s a Channellock 4pc pliers tool set, featuring 3 sizes of tongue and groove-style pliers, and a bottle opener.
Update: This Channellock special buy is now priced at $25 online.

Channellock’s tongue and groove pliers still have a lot of fans, although quick-adjust pliers have become more popular.
This set comes with 6-1/2″, 9″, and 12″ pliers.
One thing that can be said about Channellock tools is that they’re very durable. I have some of my grandfather’s Channellock pliers, and they still have plenty of use left in them. One of these days I’ll clean them up and put them in my tool box.
I LOVE Channellock tools!
This set is currently priced at $40 $30. It’s about time we see some Channellock deals for the holidays!
Update: It’s $30 at some stores. If you see the $40 price as I did, try selecting different stores. Thanks, Drew!
Update 11/15/18: It’s now $25.

If you ask me, this is NOT a good price, as it’s not much of a deal. Regardless of what’s on the display now, I’m hoping to see the price drop in a few weeks. Maybe even hopeful.
$30 is much better pricing! ($25 is even better!)
Right now, you can get a Channellock 3pc pliers set via Amazon for $35, which isn’t much lower than buying everything separately.

At the moment, you could alternatively buy a 2pc set with 6-1/2″ and 9-1/2″ pliers for a little less $18 at Amazon, and Channellock 12″ tongue and groove pliers are $14 by themselves. Together, you can get a 3pc set for a little less than $34.
Buying everything separately comes to $37 ($9 for 6-1/2″, $14 for 9-1/2″, $14 for 12″).
This all means that with the Lowes promo set, you’re saving an extra $4 off the lowest pricing, plus getting a bonus bottle opener.
If you don’t want to spend that much money, get the 2pc pliers set for $18.
There’s also a Channellock 4pc pliers and screwdriver tool set, currently $42 at Amazon.

Update
Here’s what I saw before. It appears that the tool set is currently discounted at some stores and zip codes, but not others.
I checked on a different computer and selected a different store, and the price is $30.

Stuart,
I saw this set at my local Lowes in the DC area on Sunday. They were marked at the store for $30. I didn’t see a $40 price. I figured I would wait until I saw what the price was over the holiday. Maybe this is the lowest it will go. Just clicked on the link above and they are showing up at $29.98. The store didn’t have much else out in preparation for the holiday, at least in tools.

I added a screenshot at the end of the post.
$30 would be good pricing, $4 below the lowest price I can find for the 3 pliers without the bottle opener.

Those quick-adjust pliers might have become more popular, but I’m sticking with my American made Channellocks until they stop making them,. I have all there different variants & sizes. They make good presents also. I’ve had no problems adjusting them myself for over 30 yrs 🙂

Yep one of my favorite brands .

I found out this summer that Lowes has different pricing for different stores when I was shopping for a folding workbench. The strange thing is they will match prices from competitors stores, but not their own.
Travis
I have that the same experience at Lowe’s. And they weren’t even that far apart.

Dont need any adjustable pliers but wish I could buy that nice bottle opener separately…
Mickey
That is a killer deal on the best groove joint pliers made.
Framer joe
American made ?
Thom
I picked one up today.. I just wanted the bottle opener!
Jim P.
Just bought online for 24.95. Thanks!
Stuart
Glad to help!
I was worried that people might miss it because I changed the timing to “bump” the post to the top, rather than republishing. I also haven’t confirmed the new lower pricing in stores yet.

Just got mine for 24.00 OTD with my military discount.

awesome deal! I’m grabbing these today.
Jim Felt
I’m all in for the USA made bottle opener!
The tools we’ve long ago kept in the back of our tool storage areas. Knipex won that battle.
But that bottle opener!
Stuart. Please be on the lookout for that separately! Please.
Stuart
Right now it looks like a promo-only item, but I’ll keep my eyes open.

I bought that just for the bottle opener!

If I was an actual “bottle collector” I might too. I’ve got like 10 tool branded ones over the years. Never use them. But they look cool.
But I just can’t buy the darn set to yet again donate New Never Used tools to Jimmy Carter aka Habitat for Humanity Re-Store.
Grrr.
