One of those really rare items in a lot of tool boxs these days, a properly sharpened chisel. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Don't think many people know that you can sharpen them?! Or drill bits...

<hr width=100% size=1>my opinion is complete rubbish, probably.

Paintbrush is my favourite tool for maintainance. By the time it comes out all the hard work has been done.

Favourite tool?

My workshop! - everything from lathes. VBMs, planers, saws, sharpening machines (can't work with blunt tools) and of course the old chain saw backed up by the ever faithfull "stil" saw.

Not many people seem to know they have to be sharpened when you buy them. New ones [chisels] seem sharp, so forget about the compound angle. Wonder why it chipped ?

Pullsaws are very nice..
But i could not get much done on anything without a kettle
