For over 90 years, APEX has been producing high-performing fastener drive tools for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, agriculture, heavy truck and trailer, and general industrial manufacturing applications.
 

Channellock, Inc. started making our high quality hand tools back in 1886. 133 years later, we have over 350 dedicated associates who manufacture more than 75 different sizes and types of pliers in Meadville, PA, USA. We pay attention to every detail so we can provide pliers that don’t just finish the job, but defeat the job—plain and simple. Is it the easiest way? Probably not. But it's the right way when it comes to making our pliers.

Channellock produces cutting pliers, linemen's pliers, long nose pliers, adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers, nutdrivers and special-purpose pliers, as well as multi-function tools for the fire service and other first responders.
