The IRWIN Marples MS500 Series All-Purpose Chisels with ProTouch™ Handle. These chisels have a large metal striking cap to withstand hammer impacts, prolong the life of the handle and prevent mushrooming. ProTouch™ handles are designed to provide an extra comfortable grip and also reduce vibrations and hand fatigue. One-piece blade forging gives added strength and durability. Made from special tool steel which ensures a much sharper cutting edge for quicker and easier operation. A special hardening process gives the blade a longer-lasting edge - less time spent re-sharpening. Every chisel is honed and sharpened ready for use out of the packet - to save you time and effort.
