10WCB CODE BLUE® WIDEAZZ® Adjustable Wrench
Inspired by the ever-changing needs of America’s trades professionals, the CHANNELLOCK® 10WCB CODE BLUE® WIDEAZZ® Adjustable Wrench combines the same legendary strength and durability of the two original WIDEAZZ® adjustable wrenches, but with an extra-wide, two-inch jaw capacity (up to 72% wider than a standard 10-inch wrench) to support larger nuts and bolts, and longer, non-protruding jaws for greater access in tight spaces.
Pro Drivers and Pry Bars
Channellock, Inc. is excited to introduce its new line of professional-grade, U.S.A.-made screwdrivers at this year’s NHS. CHANNELLOCK® Pro Drivers are built with high-grade U.S. steel and feature vacuum heat-treated blades, reinforced 3-sided high-performance handles, comfortable contoured grips, and magnetic tips. The new product line includes the following types of drivers: Phillips, Specialty, Square Recess, Slotted, Multi-Bit, TORX®, Metric and Standard Nut Drivers, and more.
Additionally, the new Pro Drivers product line includes 100% U.S.A.-made CHANNELLOCK® Pry Bars, available in 7 different sizes as well as a 3-piece set of the most commonly used sizes. All CHANNELLOCK® Pry Bars feature a 4-sided high-performance handle, steel cap and “go-thru” blade for added strength and control, and a curved head for increased leverage.
SpeedGrip™ Tongue & Groove Pliers
In addition to the 10WCB, Channellock, Inc. will feature its SpeedGrip™ Tongue & Groove Pliers at NHS. SpeedGrip™ Tongue & Groove Pliers combine the same legendary strength and durability of the original CHANNELLOCK® Tongue & Groove Pliers with a new push button that quickly locks into place for fast and easy adjustments. The laser heat-treated, cross-hatched teeth are made to stabilize, tighten, and loosen nuts and bolts, while the CHANNELLOCK BLUE® non-slip grips provide ultimate control and comfort on the job. SpeedGrip™ Pliers are forged from 100% U.S. steel and made in Meadville, P.A. They are available in 8, 10, and 12-inch sizes, as well as 2 and 3-packs.
968 Forged Wire Stripper
In 2020, CHANNELLOCK® released its 968 7.5-Inch Forged Wire Stripper for stripping 10-20 AWG solid and stranded wire. Made with Xtreme Leverage Technology (XLT™), the 968 requires considerably less force to cut than traditional high-leverage designs, reducing hand fatigue. This wire stripper has screw shears that are precision machined to prevent damage to threads when cutting 6-32 and 8-32 machine screws and a curved cutting shear designed to contain material during handling. The 968 also features a spring-loaded handle for easy, one-handed operation; CHANNELLOCK BLUE® Comfort Grips for all-day comfort; a lock for safe storage; and a reaming head to deburr, clean, and flare up to 1-inch conduits. The CHANNELLOCK® 968 Forged Wire Stripper is forged from 100% U.S. steel and made in Meadville, P.A.
