The Stanley FatMax Thru Tang bevel-edge chisels have an ergonomic handle design that incorporates a shatter-proof polymer handle. The ergonomic soft-grip longer handle is useful for maximum control, feels good in the hand and is comfortable for all applications. The friction-welded bolster also gives strength and durability. The steel striking cap on this chisel can be struck with a steel hammer, in order to increase its cutting force, and the body resists most solvents. The ISO Standard blade is made from high-quality EN 31 ball bearing-grade steel and is fully ground and finished for ultimate sharpness. The full-length blade guard provides added safety. The FatMax Thru Tang chisel range features chisels with well-designed handles (50 per cent stronger than Stanley Dyna Grip Pro chisels on a handle side impact test) for extra reassurance and durability. The quality chrome alloy (ball bearing-grade) steel provides superior edge retention. The Stanley STA 0-16-252 FatMax Thru Tang chisel is 8 mm (5/16 inch) wide and 125 mm long. The Stanley Works, originally a bolt and door hardware manufacturing company located in New Britain, Connecticut, was founded in 1843 by Frederick T Stanley. A few years later, in 1857, Frederick’s cousin, Henry Stanley, founded The Stanley Rule and Level Company. In 1920, The Rule and Level Company merged with The Stanley Works and went on to become the famous Stanley Hand Tools Division. From the timeless Stanley Classic 199 knife, a design icon of the 20th century, to the modern range of FatMax hand tools, innovation and quality are synonymous with the Stanley name. Stanley tools are demanded for their performance by professionals, enthusiasts and DIYers alike. Nowadays, Stanley makes much more than just knives. In addition to hand tools, the Stanley range now includes paintbrushes and rollers, sliding doors, pneumatic fastening solutions and mechanics’ tools.
