MEADVILLE, Pa. — July 24, 2008 — With football season right around the corner, Channellock Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of quality hand tools, is helping kick off this American tradition with the “CHANNELLOCK^® Football Challenge” sweepstakes.
The sweepstakes, running for 22 consecutive weeks, begins August 4, 2008 and ends January 4, 2009. With a new contest every two weeks, football fans must re-enter every other week to have 11 chances to play and win one of 11 CHANNELLOCK^® tool rolls. The five-piece tool rolls include a 10-inch tongue-and-groove plier, 6.5-inch tongue-and-groove plier, 7-inch diagonal cutting plier, 7-inch end cutter and an 8-inch long-nose plier with side cutter.

Entering the sweepstakes is simple and fun.

The approximate retail value of each prize is $100. Football fans can also test their knowledge against friends and family using the Web site’s buddy referral system.
