I would like to give more than 5 stars. This chisel will stand up to any abuse you put it through and then some. I use it as a wood chisel, chisel, cold chisel. Anything I ask of him, he does. Easy to sharpen. I also modified it by cutting off the "teeth" of one of the gears with a dremel and cutter wheel and lubricating the hinges so I can now operate it with one hand like a balisong. The only downside is that the buttons don't snap after the change, so you have to press harder. Buy this.
