Customer Reviews

Hey, it's only a chisel, right??

Right.
So why did this manufacturer put so much effort into producing a tool often relegated to the bottom of the tool box? Noting the quality of the metal and its forging to a Rockwell hardness that rivals some expensive hunting blades just makes you shake your head, as in who would do this for a BRICK CHISEL? Wood chisels sure, and these can be priced into the stratosphere, but for a BRICK CHISEL?!


It must be a FOOTPRINT!
Footprint is one of those rare manufacturers that strive to make the best product of its kind, no matter what that product is. You won't find this name epoxied to a dirty plywood cut-off in a cluttered isle at your local home improvement warehouse or in dusty makeshift wooden bins piled like loose nails.


I must have them ALL!
This chisel, like most Footprint products, is the heftiest, hardest, sharpest [yes, I said sharpness], safe, and well-balanced *professional* chisel out there. I was shocked at the Amazon price for this quality and hard to find chisel and grabbed up a collection of just about every useful variation Amazon had to offer from Footprint. I had to wait six months for this one but when the boxes arrived [yep, boxes, as in double-boxed and fully cushioned] and I finally pulled this chisel from its cardboard and airbagged surroundings was I peeved or piqued over the long wait. No, oddly, holding it in my hand and turning it from every direction admiring its well-executed form, clean finish, and massive feel, I was ecstatic. Go figure.

Ok, so I'm a little OCD...
But quality like this is really difficult to find at a price most regular folk can afford. And price aside, how much do you think your eyes, hands, heck, even the project you're working on is worth, overall? I think I deserve the best and can only hope all tradesmen and DIY'ers feel the same when buying their tools. Most of them, especially the ones with all their parts attached, do.


Ok, so it's a chisel with training wheels, yes?
The protective very hard and oversized polymer [yes, I said polymer, not plastic]cap is a necessity, not an accessory, no matter what brand of chisel you purchase. Here again, FOOTPRINT makes theirs from a very substantial and easily gripped polymer that will bear the brunt of an occasionally misdirected blow far better than your hand.
