According to this,
http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/8MSB.shtmlThe HF, Grizzly, and MicroMark 8" shears probably all come from the same
factory in China, with different color paint, and different price tags.
(Grizzly's is $175)
http://www.grizzly.com/products/G9950I think they may be a knock-off of the much more expensive Profiform shear:
http://www.profiform.com/en/products/pf200320.cfmI don't have one yet, but these are also useful for project boxes, I think.
They're not the cheapest things in the world to ship probably; if I wasn't up
here in Canada I'd get a $129 one from a local harbor freight store, just so
I could return it if it was not put together properly.
