Give me a Greenlee chisel any day. Here in flyover country, I only see the likes
of Swan in pictures (ya know, the kind you have to turn sideways to appreciate),
but my Greenlees have always been reliable tools, taking and holding a keen
edge.
My first was a 3/8" bevel-edged socket chisel I got from my dad, a discard that
neither he nor my grandfather saw the value in. The handle for it was my first
lathe project under my grandfather's tutelage.
As much as I love seeing the Greenlee stamp at a garage sale, be it a chisel or
a NOS auger bit, I'm not in acquisition mode these days. The next acquisition I
make will be a dehumidifier for my basement workshop.
