Channellocks- beyond the pliers.

Does anyone use a channel lock splitting maul? Do they have a warranty? The ratchet has a warranty- I wrecked a 3/8 channel lock ratchet and was able to get a new one under warranty.

Channellock seems to divide the warranty of their pliers and other tools.

plier warranty--> https://www.channellock.com/warranty/

other tools warranty--> https://www.channellockproducts.com/pages/warranty-information

I don't know the specifics for the splitting maul. I didn't even know they sold a splitting maul.

Nope, never seen a channellock splitting maul.

here's my take, Channellock branded tools are divided into two categories. The first consists of US made Pliers, Screwdrivers, & adjustable wrenches. Things that Channellock actually makes aside from their screwdrivers which I believe are Pratt-Reed sourced.

The second category is Channellock Products which is mostly imported stuff from socket sets to shop vacs and everything in between. This is stuff isn't made by Channellock. It's a product line Channellock sold their name to.
I think companies license products to enhance brand recognition but, sometimes I'm not sure some of the things branded Channellock enhances the brand

I was shocked that my local channellock dealer actually warranteed the ratchet. The maul is made in Mexico.

Overstrikes will usually do it.
