According to my experience, this mortising chisel is a great choice for anyone working WITH wood. The quality of this Industrial and Scientific tool is impressive and it made my work much easier. The sharp edge of the chisel helped me achieve precise cuts. The only con I found is that it can be a bit heavy, but it is expected from a high-quality chisel.Overall, this is a great addition to any tool collection, especially for professionals who use hand tools on a regular basis..
