STANLEY FatMax FMHT16145 1-Inch Pocket Chisel

Way more convenient than carrying around a through-tang chisel. I'm a locksmith, and I was so tired of carrying around a full chisel all the time in case I had to reprep doors. With the folding design, I'll have no more holes in my tool bags, my other tools won't get cut up, and the blade won't get dulled by my other tools while in the back of my service truck. The design of the handle is very secure. Energy transfers well to the blade, and the control is good. Blade holds an edge pretty well; haven't had to sharpen it despite putting it through its paces. Am hoping that they release more of these with different blade widths, as the 25mm is a tad wide for some applications. Very happy with this purchase, and will by buying more soon for my co-workers.

Freaking great! I'm not a finish carpenter... don't get me wrong - this is not your fine detail work kinda tool... BUT, for framing etc. I always carry a beater 1" or 1¼ chisel for all the normal reasons... Having it fold keeps it from cutting up the bottom of my belt bags.... love it... I'm usually knocking it with a framing hammer... a few weeks in and love it.
