Powerful carpentry and gardening tool. Much better than other longer reach chisels with a critical design in the metal of the blade. Piece through the handle It's a wide chisel and it takes a lot of hits to get into the tree so that's really important!Upgrade from skinny carpenter's chisels that can't be used for edging and trim small trees from fences in a suburban yard etc. I have put insulation in my garage and attic at home and sheathed it in plywood wide, and then using scrap nails, these little metal plates on the wire once laid.The force required to break dozens of such plates in cutting through an attic frame would destroy a plastic-handled chisel I recommend that. Funnily enough, it's not sold at local big retail stores like Home Depot or Lowes, or your local woodworking tool store. Good luck and thanks for reading.
