Title: Not worth buying, handle breaks
Review: Needed a new chisel to carry in my tool belt while framing and doing general construction, nothing high precision, so I thought this would be handy, with the rasp faces. I figured with a name like Nicholson, it had to be good stuff.First day on the site, I hit the back end with a hammer to set it into a deck joist, the handle shattered by the tang of the chisel. In other words, the tang of the chisel does not go all the way thru the handle to the striking cap, so when you hit the cap, the tang acts like a wedge and splits the handle open.Took it back to Lowes that afternoon, it still looked brand new except for the shattered handle. Bummer.
