Chisels

[StarveacreFencing]

A rather boring one i know but what is everyone's preferred chisel for mortising the stay assemblies?

I have been trawling the internet for the past couple of hours to find a couple of new ones, as we are using cheapos that we break way too easily.

I am definately thinking all steel chisels. The strainrite ones look really nice but obviously come with a price tag.

Just wondering if anyone had any good experience/advice on this topic,

 

Thanks in advance

We just had this thread in Tornado professional members area, you should be able to read if your a contractor. Cant do a link sorry

Could have saved you a couple of hours.

Thanks very much, sounds like the best option is to bite the bullet, it always is.

I use the hayes chisel yes it is pricey but well worth the cost, been using the same one for three years now still going strong. Buy cheap buy twice

I have a 50mm wide wood chisel which has a protective handle (like a bolster chisel) you can give it a good clout with a 4lb lump hammer and leaver out the wood too. around £25 from Axminster tools.
