New Made in USA Channellock Screwdrivers!

#Channellock #MadeInAmerica #Screwdrivers

In this video we check out Channellock's refreshed Made in America screwdrivers. As you might have guessed by the handles, Mayhew is behind these, but there are some subtle Channellock spec'd tweaks that result in a great, American made screwdriver for an even better price.

@7:40 Made in USA Comparisons
-The Channellock is a really good deal

@11:30 Witte vs Channellock
-Tri-Lobe and Color
@11:50 Code Blue Handle
-If you can find these as singles, they are going to be really hard to beat in the price:quality range, the sets should be competitive as well
