My analysis of this product showed that while it may look like a quality hand tool its performance left much to be desired. The blade wasn't sharp enough and dulls quickly, making it frustrating to use in an industrial and scientific setting .On the plus side, the handle is comfortable to hold. However, it cannot make up for the disappointment of the lackluster blade. Overall, i cannot recommend this chisel for anyone seeking a reliable and sturdy hand tool..See full review
