Never hear much about shop fox on here.

Shop Fox is Grizzly's retail brand. There's one magazine article that
claimed more than just cosmetic differences 'tween the two. That's never
been confirmed. The prevailing suspicion is that its the same gear, just
white and logo'd.

IIRC, Sal Balolia the president of both companies address the question. I
believe he stated that Grizzly Tools was set up to be direct marketers.
Grizzly received so many requests for retail distributors Grizzly obliged by
marketing their products under the "Shop Fox" name to avoid having retail
operations from having to compete price wise with Grizzly's direct marketing
operation.

I'm not sure where I saw the article but in may have been in one of the past
Grizzly catalogs.
