I was hesitant to purchase these industrial hand tools but decided to give them a try .When I tried this product, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the chisels. They ARE durable and cut through wood effortlessly. The construction is solid and they feel well-balanced in my hand. The only downside is the price, but you definitely get what you pay for in terms of quality. Overall, i recommend these chisels to anyone in the Industrial and Scientific field looking for reliable tools..
Pros
Sharp blade cuts through wood quickly and easily
Cons
Requires frequent sharpening to maintain optimal performance
I ordered this because I needed a longer chisel for a home improvement project I'm working on. The product description says it is 13.13 inches long. This is the length of the plastic bit holder - the actual tool is only 10.5 inches long. It's a little longer than the average chisel, but not as long as I need for this project. The product looks well made and looks like it could take heavy use.
