Hi All,
On the auction site I see more Stanley "Made in USA" socket chisels than I see of the 750s or 720s. The "Made in USA" chisels also sell for lower prices.
My assumptiion is a lot of the price difference may be due in part to collectors.
My questions are: 1. Is the price difference due primarily to collectors?, 2. As far as being users are concerned are the old 750s and "Made in USA" chisels basically equivalent, or is the higher price of the 750s and 720s due to being much better chisels?, and 3. I have read that Stanley started using less of one alloying metal, that had gotten very pricy, in their socket chisels, and they decided that for that reason they had to change the names of the chisels, thus abandonment of the 700 numbers.
Finally, I could not find much on the Stanley socket chisels history, especially of these two.
Any help and history will be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Stew
