Marples - Blue Chip Bench Chisel
Blue Chip chisels feature polypropylene handles and utility-grade steel
Dec 01, 1999
Marples Blue Chip—The Marples-brand chisel is the Ford Taurus of chisels; you can find them in lots of catalogs and woodworking stores around the country. But in the toughness test, it did not do as well as most chisels in this review. The molded blue vinyl handle of the 1/2-in. chisel I tested felt comfortable. The tool scored an “average” on the toughness test. The price is for set of five.
