STANLEY FatMax 16-978 1-Inch Short Blade Wood Chisel

The Stanley 1-Inch Wide FatMax Short Blade Chisel is an ideal tool for the dedicated woodworker who repeatedly requires perfect grooves, crisp carvings and timesaving precision. The FatMax chisel provides increased strength in the neck area where common breakage occurs. Each chisel is friction-welded for a stronger blade and improved performance. The hardened and tempered high-chrome, carbon-alloy steel is ball-bearing grade; it allows the chisel blade to stay sharp longer, unlike forged blades that require more frequent sharpening for edge retention. Designed for resisting tough impact and treatment, the ergonomic bi-material handle has steel striking caps, allowing the user to work with steel-headed hammers. The FatMax chisel brings the innovative traditions of the FatMax line to those who demand and rely on high performance hand tools. The 9-inch blade offers exceptional strength and control. It comes with a reusable, full-length blade protector that can be wall-mounted for easy storage.
