    Cherry chisels

    Good deal on a set of Cherry chisels.
    Great tool to have in your shop.

    Are these any different than the ones at www.Holbren.com for $112 or $99 if you don't want the box?

      I think they're the same but Holbren is out of stock on the 6 pc sets.

        Great chisels! I got 3 as a present from my wife and couldn't be happier.

        Buying them individually from these two sites will save you:

        Holbren has them on sale, and individually, without the leather roll, they are 118.96. Is there a discount for forum membners at Holbren? I can't recall. http://www.holbren.com/home.php?cat=638

        di legno woodshop supply would cost you 138.50 at their regular price. Again, wothout the leather roll.

        I am not taking shipping into account. Craftsman Studio lists the chisels individually, and also has a price match + 10% of the difference, so that could be a route.

        I have no affiliation with these sites, and honestly have never ordered from them, but may be placing an order with one later today.

          Our weak dollar is going to put a major crimp in imported European tool purchases.

            They're actually the same price ($149) w/ free shipping from Amazon. Given the choice of supporting Amazon or a small company, all other things being equal, I'd buy from them. Without the leather roll at the other webstes seems good though.

              Just had a look at Holbren. They don't have them, but if they did, the prices were $140 with the box, $125 without.

                They're actually on sale at Holbren, but OOS. If you go to "chisels"/"chisel sets" they'll show up as $112 s/box, $100 w/o. Not sure why they show a different price from different screens.....not sure if he can honor the price on his replacement stock...

                  I followed your link and went to the website from outside, still see it as $125 and $140. What is 'oos'? Am I missing something here?

                      The link you supplied is showing up as $140??! Am I missing something here?
                      AHA!

                      If you hit 'chisels' in the left hand column, then 'chisel sets', I see your prices. Every other way you approach it, it's the higher prices. Weird!

                        I just emailed Brian at Holbren. I quote: they are sold out, never to return'. He just hasn't gotten around to removing them from the website yet.

                          Brian (aka Holbren) posted a deal on these chisels on Woodnet (last weekend, I believe). He was looking to clear them out and dropped the price on what he had in stock. The deal was limited to stock on hand.

                          Looks like Herb beat me to the bottomline on these chisels....that's what happens sometimes when you post from work -- work gets in the way. :-)

                              If you see the price with that little green sale tag that's the real price. For some reason the "on sale" module has a little bug where the product page doesn't show the correct price but if you add it to the cart you will be charged the correct price.

                              The Two Cherries product is never to return as Herb mentioned.

                              To Mike's comment, prices have gone up a few times over the past year. New inventory from the UK (Crown, Sorby, Taylor ...) will be at a premium as will the German product.
