Channellock 125 Years Strong Father’s Day Giveaway

by 521 Comments

Tools Tools Tools and more tools. It seems growing up that the most valued Father’s Day gift was a tool. I remember giving dad, socks, ties, games and yeah, he appreciated all of it, but nothing made his eyes light up like a tool or hunting gear. Yeah, this post is about tools but I have to be honest, hunting gear was always a favorite too!

There is something universal in the tactile sensation for a man in building something, or tackling a home project by themselves. My husband even took up the hobby of building things at home. My favorite creation he made was a picture frame to frame one of my paintings. Once upon a time, I painted as a hobby. That was pre-kids, pre-blog, pre-life. I thought he was pretty crafty, but projects take time and with kids he didn’t have time to do any home projects anymore. Neither of us did. Plus, we’re not about to do any home repairs ourselves. I have CRAZY home repair stories to tell you, they all have to do with pipes and water. Water everywhere! Let’s just say, pipes and us do not get along.

Channellock is celebrating 125 years of making quality tools. So if it’s home repair or just your own craftiness that could use a new set of tools, join in their tool celebration. Channellock is giving away one CHANNELLOCK® Tool Roll No. 3 Gift Set every other week until July 4th in their Channellock Blue Sweepstakes. You can also try to win a set here on MomStart.

Tools For Father’s Day: Channellock Gift Set Giveaway

by 283 Comments

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Does you husband get all giddy with the thought of a new tool. Does he have to take 10 trips to the hardware store with any home improvement project? Yeah, that’s a man and his love of tools. I think they just like to go and look at them. Even my techy husband likes a good tool and can’t do a project with out exhausting the trips to

Channellock is a tool, it’s a name brand tool. Being a woman, I never realized that Channellock is another name for pliers in the man’s world. So, when my husband said hand me the Channellock, I looked at him like I have no idea what you are talking about. He said, “Pliers please” Oh ok, I can do that.

Channellock believe in four main tenants of service. the belief that good management is never far from the factory floor; that people are more important than machines; that bigger doesn’t always mean better; and that dedication to excellence is the surest way to surmount adversity and to prosper. For over 119 years, Channellock, Inc. has held firm to those and creates quality tools. They make pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers and special use tools.
