Greenlee chisel ()

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA
Greenlee is a respected name. I've heard comments from people whose chisels were harder than average old chisels, but they held a good edge. I own three of their drawknives, and I think one chisel, but (shuffling my feet and looking embarrassed) have not had occasion to use most of them while I'm in carpentry mode. I've used my Greenlee folding-handle drawknife and really like it.

Greenlee is still in business, now owned by Textron, but focused on electrician's tools. The "Greenlee punch" is an extremely useful tool for knockouts in electrical boxes, whether making one where you need it or enlarging an existing one.
