Tools for Panel Builders

AutomationDirect has added CHANNELLOCK tools, which are designed with strength and durability in mind. CHANNELLOCK tools are made in the USA with high-carbon USA steel. The CHANNELLOCK straight jaw pliers feature undercut tongue-and-groove channels to prevent slipping, and Griplock jaw tongue-and-groove pliers have an offset head for greater leverage with patented SAFE-T-STOP technology to prevent pinching. CHANNELLOCK long nose pliers, with a crosshatch tooth pattern and narrow nose profile, and slip joint pliers, with a serrated jaw and an added wire cutting shear, are perfect for soft wire.

AutomationDirect has added Bondhus hex and Torx tools, which are precision machined in the USA with a proprietary high-torque steel for reliable, long-lasting service life. Hex-end L-key sets have chamfered tool tips to eliminate burrs and provide a proper seat. Ball-end L-key sets insert at a 25° angle, allowing for superior torque transfer and natural wrist movement, ideal for hard-to-reach places. Torx L-key sets are designed for more torque and can be used on Torx and star screws.

AutomationDirect has added a wide assortment of world-renowned Wiha tools to their ever-expanding Tool and Test Equipment lineup. These new additions include various types of standard, insulated, electric, and precision screwdrivers, multi-bit drivers, nutdrivers, standard and insulated t-handle hex keys, wing and flag handle torx keys, tool pouches, tool bags, tool backpacks, many tool set choices, and much more. Wiha tools are built with top-quality materials, ergonomically designed, and engineered with safety and durability in mind to ensure long-lasting, reliable, and safe operation.
