Gibraltar Chucks ?

[mtnlvr]

Does anyone have experience with Gibraltar chucks? I'm looking for a 6" 4 jaw independent without spending a lot.
They seem to be mid priced, I just wonder about the quality. Is it possible to find a new 4 jaw without spending
$600 and up. Prices seem to have jumped in the past couple of months.
Thanks

Gibraltar does not makes chucks, they are just rebranded with their name. Most if not all are Chinese imports. Gibraltar is an Enco/MSC house brand. If MSC carries the chuck you're looking at you can call them and ask what the COO is, they'll have no problem telling you.

I personally would not buy a Gibraltar branded chuck as you'll probably just be paying for a mark up. If a China chuck is not an issue for you, check out Gator/Fuerda chucks. They're the nices China chucks available, great value for the price.
