Garrett Wade - Bench Chisel
A house-brand chisel with a beech handle
Dec 01, 1999
This well-balanced, house-brand chisel, made in the Czech Republic, has an iron-ringed beech handle and is touted in the Garrett Wade catalog as a “superb value.” Given the chisel’s performance, I’d say they are right. The tool scored an “average” on the toughness test. The price is for set of six.
