: I did a quick web search for reviews on the Grizzly Japanese
: chisels - some rate them highly.
: However, I also found a review from a local (Victoria BC) very
: skilled professional woodworker, Chico Sakman.
: http://www.sakmanfinewoodworks.com
: Chico didn't think much of the Grizzly chisels.

: For a few dollars more, you can get 'budget' chisels from
: JapanWoodworker
:
: http://www.japanwoodworker.com/dept.asp?s=JapanWoodworker&dept_id=12769

: I've dealt with both Grizzly and Japanwoodworker (neither for
: chisels) and I trust JapanWoodworker to be able to evaluate
: quality.

: Just a thought....

The test was done by a woodworking magazine, not by Grizzly, independant of the seller.

I've got one of their band saws (and like it) but have never been all that impressed with their hand tools, was just passing along info.
