This chisel served its purpose and has held up well. After completing my demolition project, the back of the bit warped but still works perfectly. My only complaint is that the grip started slipping up and down shortly after I started using it. Ultimately, this didn't affect the work of the chisel, but was a little annoying. At the same time, my left hand was glad that there was a grip and that the guard was protecting it from my sometimes imprecise right hand.
