MY THOUGHTS

I was so excited to receive all three tools especially the Long Nose Pliers since we recently broke a cheap pair that we used around the house.  Now all three of the tools make great gifts for dad or hubby this year, but they are also definitely handy for us women too.  I use the Long Nose Pliers to help me with my jewelry making that I do on the side.

I also find the Diagonal Cutting Pliers handy when using wire in my jewelry creations.  They make it a breeze to cut the wire to the exact length quickly.  I am still working on a way to use the Straight Jaw Plier with my jewelry and I will let you know if I do.  Of course my fiancee has tons of other uses for all three tools ranging from working on our pipes to replacing old outlets.  

So if you are struggling to find the perfect gift for dad then look no further than some high quality USA made Channellock tools.  You can find a local distributor by calling 1-800-724-3018.  I also have the pleasure of hosting a giveaway where one lucky reader will win all three of the mentioned tools above to give to dad or keep for yourself!  SO be sure to enter the Rafflecopter form below and as always GOOD LUCK!!!!
