>Is there anyone has some hands on experience about New Stanley Chisel e.g 3-piece Fatmax wood chisel? Are those cheaper Chisel like footprint, Canadiantire all bad not worth to buy?

Tank you very much

>The FatMax chisels by Stanley are primarily marketed for the carpentry or construction trades. But I would venture to say that you can use them for woodworking if properly tuned, ie., lapping the backs and honing a fine edge. They're what I used until I could find some vintage socket chisels. They will take a lot of abuse, though. :)
