  • The Stanley FatMAX Chisel Knife was suggested to me after I posted an earlier video about three other chisel knives. The FatMAX is the Biggest, heaviest, beefiest, and almost the cheapest of the four. However, it might be harder to find. I got mine from Home Depot online.

    I am ordering one ASAP!!! I’m a professional firefighter. This along with the Fubar, looks like it might be a perfect compact forcible entry setup that I can carry in my bunker gear. I’m going to dull the edges (don’t want anything sharp in my pockets). I’ve seen other firefighters carry a knife like this but it was made by K Bar and pretty expensive. This looks like the perfect answer for our industry.
    I always appreciate learning about new innovations fro the blue collar trades that can help us in the fire service. Much respect, thanks to all you guys!

      Metric is so much nicer/easier/faster & less error prone... wish the US had made the change decades ago. Oh, BTW I heard that aerospace giant Lockheed Martin either has, or is currently in the process of adopting metric for everything; as have scores of other companies & organizations.
      My only metric complaint is the Celsius degree is a little 'portly'... a °C weighs in at 1.8°F... but I'll live.

      Tell me about it. I took the day off, and was planning on picking up a few EDC replacement tools while I was out later - this just went on the list (if I see one locally). Along with that Lufkin tape measure & a pair of Knipex dikes.

    I prefer the Stanley over the other chisel knives, because of the through tang and the striking cap on the end. This kind of chisel isn’t meant for fine carving or joinery; it’s for rough work. You need to be able to whale on it with a hammer.

  • @Stevegetslucky
    @Stevegetslucky Před 2 lety +2

    I got the Stanley fatmax builders wrecking knife/ chisel. came super sharp, I've put a few years on it now. still going strong. doesn't come with a holder though, had to wrap a rag around it so I didn`t cut a finger going through the tool bag.

    @csimet Před 2 lety +3

    For ~$11 & change and shipped free, I just grabbed one. I did not want to use my Morakniv for demo jobs (I keep it sharp for mortising and cleanup work). The double bevel and through tang are perfect for demo. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Doc, Another nice video! You are incredibly tireless!! Didn't you sing the praises of a similar Snap-on/Blue Point tool a while back? P.S. When are we going to get to see wherever it is that you keep all of your tools--its obviously not in the tool chest in your filming "studio." Red out.

  • @muxmurki1497
    @muxmurki1497 Před 2 lety +1

    I have the Mora as a component of my EDC kit. At home, there is a very decent piece like the Stanley made by Kirschen. Wouldn't abuse it too much, but more precise and much better steel. Made in Germany

    25.4mm = 1" so 25mm is a practical inch. That said, the non-chisel grind of the fatmax was/is a non-starter for me

  • @atomicsmith
    @atomicsmith Před 2 lety +2

    I bought a stanley butterfly chisel (folded into the handle, meant to be carried on a tool belt for rough work) The blade started rolling just using it in pine. The fact that you said this blade was already dinged up makes me wonder if this isn't similarly cheap steel...

    • @gqborges
      @gqborges Před rokem +1

      The wingman used to be my favorite EDC Carry, i got the leatherman free p2 a few weeks back, it’s essentially the same tool but has a great fidget factor to it and I find a one-handed use to be very helpful when I’m working on projects. The price is a little steep but I found one a few eBay for the same price as the wingman. currently

    Do You know of any folding chisel knives? I am interested in something similar to pry tool with a blade edge on it. The chisel knives seem to be the closet. It would be great if they made chisel knife with the butterfly action as well. I haven't seen one.

    It ought not to be a super sharp 90degree angle. The corner would be susceptible to breaking. If it comes new with such an angle, the first thing I’d do is round it….., JUST A TINY BIT.

      It's perfect for people like me that need to have their tools on their person while minimizing weight. I cut with them and chisel with them (not fine work) so it saves me from having to carry both a chisel and a fixed blade amongst many other tools.
