Review on πŸͺ΅ Stanley 16 791 Sweetheart Socket Chisel: Premium Quality Chisel for Ultimate Woodworking Precision by Mitch Garrido

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality, good price, update

I wanted to add some quality chisels to my tool bag and decided to try Stanley chisels. A set of 4 tools costs about the same as an LN tool. The tools had to be adapted/coordinated immediately. All backs were concave and had a coarse twist on them. It took about 15 minutes for the back to be fairly flat on a wet 600 grit rock. The strip left a mirror finish. Now they cut very well. I'm about to have a project where a lot of mahogany material needs to be removed, so I'll be testing the edge retention. Update** I've used these bits on two projects and they continue to impress. The latest project involved hand-carved hard maple swallowtails. They kept their sharpness throughout the project without even polishing it.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
