I just had a guy widen my shed doors so that I could get the 'new' tractor in (the wife's car has been sitting out for two years - ouch!). He also did some other work and he treated my house as though it was his. He was conscientious, prompt, skilled and polite. I noticed that he had some Stanley contractor's chisels with the chunky handles - I still have the old style ones with the yellow, plastic handles - and complimented the big handles on his. He told me that the steel was too soft and that they didn't hold an edge very well. I shouldn't be surprised.
Fast forward to end of job. He tallied the hours and knocked off $40 bucks because we arranged for him to return to do more of the work that I no longer can do. I'd kind of like to get him some better chisels and give them to him after the next job. I am just not familiar with contractors chisels so would you folks like to give me your suggestions?!
As always, TIA!
