STANLEY FatMax 16-971 6-Piece Short Blade Chisel Set

These chisels are probably the single best choice for regular carpentry, rough carpentry, framing and general construction. As close to indestructible as any I've seen. Although not intended for cabinetmaking, they can be used in a pinch. Good British Sheffield steel holds an edge without chipping or roll over if you sharpen properly. (Don't forget to flatten the backs! Only needs to be done once, but most skip this step and it makes a big difference.) Although you CAN use these chisels with a steel hammer, I never will. I use a mallet and five years later, mine still look new! For the quality, my set was an exceptional value. Paying more wouldn't improve performance. Again, for standard carpentry, (which is how 99% of people will use them,) these are the best chisels available. Get the 750 Sweethearts for cabinetmaking. These chisels are another example of why Stanley is still around after 175 years.

Tough product, good steel, great for any shop! Have even larger one! They last, sharpen well and hold edge!
