Can't say that I have have ever had a bad cold chisel, no matter where I buy or what brand, I think that cold chisels are one of those tools that are easy to make properly and they all work well! Most of mine are between 20-40 years old, only took a small chip out of one once when I was using it on some case hardened steel, sharpened it back up and still going strong.
Cheers

The old " Snap On" chisels also used to be very good in metal cutting but I seem to recollect a reading alot of negative words about them of late
footprint are good chiselsI like the old footprint ones, or the new MAC tools ones are very good. I think they are called powerdrive perhaps...
