Review on ๐Ÿช“ Stanley 16 971: 6-Piece FatMax Chisel Set for Precision Woodworking by Demarco Vonk

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The chisels I received needed to be ground to get a straight edge.

My problem is as follows. While I don't expect the edge to be sharpened to 1000 grit right away, I do expect the edge to be straight. So far I've had to rework the edges on 3 of the 6 chisels I've purchased due to chipping or poor sharpening. In one case it was so bad that I literally put the chisel up and down, sanded it down and started over. Additionally, they're coated in a type of hard-to-remove rust preventative that, unless cleaned with a dish sponge and Goo Gone, will clog your stones to restore them to a usable condition.

Pros
  • Chisel
Cons
  • There are defects
