According to this,

The HF, Grizzly, and MicroMark 8" shears probably all come from the same 
factory in China, with different color paint, and different price tags.

(Grizzly's is $175)

I think they may be a knock-off of the much more expensive Profiform shear:

I don't have one yet, but these are also useful for project boxes, I think.  
They're not the cheapest things in the world to ship probably; if I wasn't up 
here in Canada I'd get a $129 one from a local harbor freight store, just so 
I could return it if it was not put together properly.
