Excellent, this is a perfect size and very handy and great value for money

I bought this specifically for a renovation project, taking a room back to the original brickwork by stripping off old lime plaster which a lot of had unfortunately blown. For the price, it’s a solid bit of kit, but it’s not without a minor "budget" quirk. ​The Good: The steel is surprisingly decent. It hasn't dulled yet despite several hours of pounding against masonry. It gets right behind the lime plaster and pops it off the brick in clean sections, which has saved me a lot of time and effort. ​The "Slight Issue": The rubber hand guard isn't actually fixed firmly to the shaft. While I’m working, the guard tends to slide up and down with the vibration and impact. It means every few minutes, I have to stop and knock it back into place to make sure my knuckles stay protected. ​Verdict: It’s not a dealbreaker, especially if you’re on a budget, and it does the job well once you get into a rhythm. Just be prepared for a bit of manual "re-adjustment" of the guard throughout your project. Good for DIY, but a pro might find the guard issue a bit tedious.

Chisel 135 - rocks 0. Breaks rocks, finds fossils, is chisel

This is a great product. Really sturdy and I like the rubber handle bit, stopped me whacking my hands with the hammer more than once. It does slide up and down a bit when your hammering but still effective. I've used the chisel for removing old mortar under paving slabs and for cutting bricks in half. Worked well for both.

Quality tool, the hand protection is great. I use for fossil hunting

Good price and done the job, the plastic part did break unfortunately
