Title: Chisel Set
Post by greg on Aug 28^th, 2011, 3:07pm

Looking to replace my chisel set. I am looking at Marples, but was wondering if anyone could clarify the main differences between the M373 range and the MS500 range?

Thanks.

The m373 are the original plastic handle chisels. whereas the ms500 are the newer soft handle,

Yeah but in the hands of a plumber a chisel has so many uses,:-

screwdriver, cold chisel, jimmy bar, cable cutter, tile remover, pencil sharpener etc etc.

Almost forgot, it can be used on wood too ;D ;D
