Channellock adds smaller adjustable wrench to product line

Jan 1, 2008

Channellock has launched the latest addition to its Code Blue product line, the WideAzz 6-inch adjustable wrench (6WCB). The company says the 6WCB offers the same increased jaw capacity, comfort and durability of its original 8-inch model in a more compact, easy-to-carry tool, making it suitable for handling big jobs in tight spaces.

According to Channellock, the 6-inch WideAzz features:

Tapered jaw profile and shorter handle length for greater access in tight spaces;

Wider jaw span to support larger nuts, bolts, pipes, etc.;

Longer individual jaws that grip better, avoiding slippage or round-off;

Lighter weight than traditional adjustable wrenches;

Chrome vanadium steel composition for strength and corrosion resistance;

Smoother adjustment using a precision engineered 4-thread adjustment knurl; and

Code Blue grips that deliver increased comfort and durability.
