Review of Stanley 16-007 5000 Series Chisel Set, 3-Piece

I used this chisel set to remove dry rot from a wooden post. After 5 minutes, the blade of the large chisel was already pitted and chipped. I don't know what the blade is made of, but it is evidently softer than dry rot. Then I used the small one, and it too was chipped and pitted after only 2 minutes.

The handles are made of plastic with no metal cap ends. These chisels are no better than what you get at a dollar store. I have been very disappointed with Stanley products lately. I bought Stanley leather work gloves that was literally unraveling at the seams as soon as I opened the package. I had to sew it back by hand. Then the inner lining started to fall apart after one use. No more Stanley for me!
