Where can I get a Mission Models Micro Chisel?
Posted by White Snake on Thursday, July 10, 2008 10:16 AM
Does anyone know where I can purchase this tool from a website that has some in stock.  So far I have been to multiple websites, and actually have one ordered, even though its on backorder, from Great Models.  Thanks!

Check your local woodworkers boutique...those stores that cater to woodworkers. Check out their selection of chisels some are as small and fine as those for plastics and are as good.

 Hey White Snake,

 One suggestion, If you do get the MM Micro Chisel. Ditch the handle and buy yourself a nice Drill handle with interchangeable arbors. I started using Tamiya's drill handle when that idiotic set screw gave out on the MM handle. It's alot easier to change bits and they stay put.My 2 cents [2c]

They should have wood carvers chisels there. Check your local hardware stores too...not the big box stores...True Value, Ace there has to be a mom and pop store near you.

I know there are wood carvers in your nick of the woods. 

We have several sources around here, maybe its because we have such long winters.Wink [;)]

Shoot....I didn't think to hit the hardware stores. Sad [:(]

I just received my Micro Chisel from Burbank's House of Hobbies. It was the only place I could find that had them in stock.

Thanks Stretchie!  I just ordered one.  How long did it take until you received yours?

I think I ordered it Thursday and got it Monday. USPS priority. I think USPS was the cheapest option. Can't remember. Getting old. Big Smile [:D]

Thanks again stretchie!  They stated that they had sold out over the weekend...go figure!  However, they took the time to email and hunt down some chisels of which they said would arrive at the end of the week and would then mail out.  The site is great!  It allowed me to order some other things that I was having a hard time locating.  I thought Great Models would be the answer to everything, but they are horribly slow and I am not impressed with them at all.  Just my .02  Thanks again!
