Channellock has made its blue-handled pliers in Meadville, Pennsylvania since 1886, and the site is unusually precise about which lines that covers: snips, non-locking pliers, professional drivers, pry bars and ratcheting wrenches are named as 100% Made in the USA, forged from US steel by associates in Meadville. That enumerated scope is the difference between a claim you can check and marketing.
The same page also says, plainly, that selected products are imported once they meet Channellock’s standards. The mark here reflects the forged US lines the company names; a buyer wanting certainty on a specific SKU should confirm it carries the Made-in-USA marking rather than assume the whole catalogue qualifies.
