I've noticed that the latest Aldi handtool offers - including chisels and files - boast "Workzone" as opposed to the more-recent "Ferrex".
Whether that means Aldi have re-connected to their old suppliers, I don't know, but the Sellers jobs were Workzone at the time...
The new chisel packs only feature 2 sizes, and look completely different handles, but...?
