Review on π¨ Marples High Impact Chisel 1819360 - Essential Chisel Tool Enhancing Durability by Brent Borseth
Holds a thin edge for a long time.
Choosing steel for cutting tools is a difficult balance. Steel that is too hard stays sharp longer, but is more difficult to resharpen. Too soft and the tool dulls quickly, but it's easier to change a usable edge. Marples got it right as always. A pleasure to work with, strong enough to take a beating and easy to resharpen. This is a purchase.
Pros
- High carbon chrome vanadium steel blade offers superior performance and edge retention, staying sharp to the last inch.
Cons
- Not as thick as other cutting tools
