Stanley 16-978 1-Inch Wide FatMax Short Blade Chisel

The Stanley 16-981 FatMax Short Blade Wood Chisel is built for controlled cutting, paring, and shaping in wood. Its 2-inch precision-ground blade is made from hardened and tempered high-chrome carbon alloy steel to support edge retention, while the lacquered finish helps protect the blade surface.

A steel Thru-Tang shaft and steel striking cap allow the chisel to be used with a steel-headed hammer when additional striking force is required. The ergonomic bi-material handle is designed for a secure grip and is shatter-resistant for added durability. A blade guard is included and can be wall-mounted for convenient storage.
