A five piece Stanley FatMax thru tang wood chisel set in 6, 10, 15, 20 and 25mm widths, made in Sheffield, England for intensive use. The blades are EN31 chrome alloy, ball bearing grade steel for good edge retention, with a lacquer finish against corrosion. The thru tang runs through the handle to a steel strike cap, so the chisels can be driven with a steel hammer, and Stanley say the handle is 50% stronger than their old DynaGrip Pro in a side impact test. Each has an ergonomic soft grip handle and a full length blade guard.
