DEWALT 1-1/2 in. Wood Chisel

Nicely made chisel, sharp out of the box with protective sleeve.This chisel has a nice weight to it, came with a nicely honed sharp edge and has a strike cap allowing it to be used with a hammer. The blade is coated with lacquer (and oil) so it has some protection from corrosion and the plastic display sleeve doubles as protector. The handle has a nice shape and surface texture which makes it less likely to slip in your hand (unlike some of my other chisels).I can’t yet speak to the durability of the edge or the tool – the web site does say its high carbon tempered steel but they don’t say what grade. It’s also not clear if the tang of the blade goes all the way to the strike cap like some other makes of chisel (I’m guessing not). I don’t feel this is a fine woodworking chisel, but for general construction, door mortising, etc should be great.

I used this to scrape paint and it worked great! Hard and sturdy firm sharp tip.

Its a chisel… it chisels things so for thst, I give it 5 stars

The Dewalt wood chisel moderately priced. Not the cheapest but a good buy based on on its performance of using it 2 days cuttings door hinges and still remaining sharp.

Great sharp chisel. Works fine!

Extremely sharp. Seems to keep edge. Used over a dozen times and still sharp. No need to resharpen. I bought the 2in a week later when it was available.

Really nice chisel. I am in the process of remodeling our home office and I needed to add a doorway and door. So that meant all of the mortises had to be cut. I used this and I got a quick lesson in the benefit of using good quality chisels. I have had cheap chisels for years and have always thought I was the reason the projects were never perfect, happy to say it wasn’t me! The DeWalt chisel has a nice rubberized grip which immediately means you have better control over your work. These chisels are sharp, nicely squared, with a good balance, and metal striking plate. It helped me make my projects much more acceptable. The plastic hanger sheath has a snap and release closer so you can keep your chisel sharp and safe in a toolbox, or use the hanger to hang it on a pegboard.

Helpful with edge banding

Great sharp chisel. Works fine!
