STANLEY FATMAX3 Piece 11" Steel Floor Chisel with Guard, 4-18-0331

This is a beast I am very happy was not tamed.I used it to break up a thick slab of concrete that served as a base for some crazy paving. Prior to this I had employed a brick bolster but not got very far. The fact that the impact point is much smaller meant that I was able to weaken the slab in a number of places before completely wrecking it.Considering that I am an absolute weakling (which is probably unfair to weaklings everywhere), this was no major feat. And I can't take any credit for it - it was all down to this chisel.The guard did not stay put for very long and kept moving up with the impact of the hammer (I used a 4 pound fibreglass-handled club hammer) but it was simple enough to knock back down every few hits.After the job, the point showed very little sign of wear (wish I could say the same about myself, but hey-ho).All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and would gladly recommend to others.

A very good chisel, easy to use, protects hands and does the job.

This is a tough chisel. I made a mistake laying some concrete and this chisel saved the day. It was still doing a good job after about 5 hours of pretty constant pounding. I don't have another chisel to compare it too but I thought it good value for money.

I was digging up in the garden when I noticed a patch of concrete/rock. I got this along with a Faithfull hammer and it got the job done brilliantly. It is built to last, at a fantastic price.

This is made of quality material and very robust. Ideal for removing old plaster from the walls

Worked excellently breaking up almost 20 year old cement/stone/concrete mix that builders used whilst originally building my houseTook some elbow grease and sweat however paired with a mini sledge hammer this bad boy was able to break through 4m in length and around 10inch thick concrete

I bought this for a specific job (cutting a gutter run into a concrete hardstand) and it has done the job perfectly. The design keeps your hand clear from stray hits and the chisel edge is solid and sharp even after several hours of use. However the handle slips as a few other reviewers mention after only an hour or so of use, so that every few hits you have to bang the handle back into place, because of this I assume it will not last as the inside of the handle rubs and wears down. Nect time I will pay a little more and get something with a longer life in it.

I thought it was a little expensive at first, but when I received it I see why it's worth the price.In only a few minutes it took care of an old concrete / cement / slate fireplace that I needed to demo.
