125th Anniversary Book

30 Pages Of History, Heroes And, Of Course, Hand Tools.

We produced an anniversary book showcasing Channellock's deep roots as an American tool tradition. The book featured company history, memorable advertising and a heartfelt "thank you" from President and CEO Bill DeArment to everyone who has made his great-grandfather's company and its blue handles a part of the fabric of America.
