Our Key Trades
CHANNELLOCK® believes in trades and tradesmen — always have, always will. And since 1886, we’ve equipped skilled tradesmen with hardworking pliers. Previously, we premiered The Place. The Plant. The People.: a docuseries showing the town, the facility and the CHANNELLOCK® associates that come together in making authentic CHANNELLOCK® pliers.
We recently traveled across the U.S. to film the lives of four tradesmen who represent the hard-working spirit that CHANNELLOCK® was founded upon.
Each not only represents their trade, they also show what blue-collar America looks like today. Finally, we brought them to our hometown of Meadville, PA to show them what we’re up to and celebrate their work.
