Here in Meadville, Pa., we like to think of CHANNELLOCK ® as a family. Since our founding in 1886, CHANNELLOCK® has been passed down from generation to generation for 125 years. Many of our colleagues are also second- and third-generation Channellock associates working on the factory floor, in the warehouse or the office and picking up where his or her mom, dad, aunt, uncle, brother or sister left off.

That is why Father's Day has a special meaning for us when it rolls around every June. In my case, if it weren't for my great, great grandfather George B. DeArment starting this company, and the successive generations that continued to build and expand it, we wouldn't be blessed with the lives we have today.

This year, Father's Day falls on Sunday, June 19. What better way to celebrate all the things Dad does - all the bike fixing, home repairs and toy assembling - than by getting him a present to make those jobs a little easier?

CHANNELLOCK® tools are the perfect gift for Dad (or Grandpa) because he will use them year, after year. When he grabs them out of the tool box, he'll think of you.

We have many tools to choose from, so let me suggest one of the most popular choices each Father's Day season: the Tool Roll No. 3 Gift Set . It includes the 430 ® Tongue & Groove Plier, the 420® Tongue & Groove Plier, the 337 Cutting Plier, 3017 Long Nose Plier and the 526 Slip Joint Plier. All five are pliers he will use on a regular basis.

Hurry and purchase it now! Orders placed on www.channellock.com take two business days to ship, so skip the crowded stores and be assured that your order will arrive in time to give Dad an unexpected – and much appreciated – gift.

Happy Father’s Day!
