I stumbled across this carnage the other day. How (and why) do you suppose stuff like this happens? I know it’s only a $12 chisel but still, it deserves more respect than this. If there can be a PETA why can’t we have PETT (People for the Ethical Treatment of Tools).

It was probably used for scraping gaskets off an engine, LOL. Don’t ask how I know this! -- Improvise.... Adapt...... Overcome! |

This is precisely why I don’t lend out my chisels! (Are you sure this is a chisel? It could be a $12 paint can opener.) -- "Hard work is not defined by the difficulty of the task as much as a person's desire to perform it.", DS251 |

The rest of the story. I saw this at a garage sale and felt pity for it so I went back and bought it. He wanted $5 for the snaggle-toothed thing but we settled on 50 cents. I found out the damage was done when he tried to hammer out a notch in a wall stud while remodeling a bathroom taking out a number of nails in the process. I’m going to see if I can give this tool a second life. -- Sweeping up sawdust in Texas |

I chiseled out some mortar to mount an exterior light with a Stanley chisel once. I’m surprised I’m admitting this here:) -- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog |
