MHG Chisels & Hartville Tool
I have a set of Lee Valley (LV) chisels and a set of Lie-Nielsen (LN)
chisels. Lee Valley chisels are nice and reasonably priced. The LN's are superb and priced high (accordingly). Now I want a mortising chisel or two or three..... Today's mail ahd a new catalog from Hartville Tool and low and behold, a new chisel chioce -- at least for me. Nice looking intermediately priced chisels from a company called MHG Tools from Germany. Any of you know anything about these tools? The mortising chisels are in the neighborhood of $30 apiece compared with $50 for LN's, and $10 for the LV's. While I'm on the subject, anybody use the LV Detail chisels? They look good -- around $28 apiece. Hartville Tools does not yet have an image of these new chisels on their web site: http://www.hartvilletool.com/prodlis...ef25f7014abc47 |

I want mortise chisels too! Dagnabit! But for all cost comparisons I have done which ain't supremely much... I decided upon Henry Taylor ones at: http://www.traditionalwoodworker.com/ because the price for quality is really good. Free ground shipping if your buys are over $75 too. I'll get'em when I can afford it. Alex |

Cheers - Rob Hi - Yes - the most salient one being that Hartville has an exclusive in the US market, which removes them from consideration for our catalogs - it's not an attractive proposition for us to sell them in one country only. However, there are several choices in this quality/price level - and from more than one country, but the MHG are good chisels.... Cheers - Rob |
