STANLEY FATMAX3 Piece 11" Steel Floor Chisel with Guard, 4-18-0331

This is made of quality material and very robust. Ideal for removing old plaster from the walls

I already owned the wider brick bolster version of this which has been excellent, so plumbed for its smaller brother. It didn’t let me down. Seriously sturdy (I’ve been carefully demolishing brick/block wallls, a brick at a time) and it’s stood up to the task with ease. The hand protection is most welcome and well up to the job.

Excellent piece of kit does what it says it’s supposed to do and was delivered reasonable time would purchase again.

I used this to beat 10 bales out of a great lump of concrete that was holding a washing line support, tube thingy. Usually whenever I embark on DIY, blood (mine) is spilled shortly afterwards in vast quantities. Although a smattering of blood was spilled, it was not the usual bloodbath. Considering that I beat the living Cr*p out of the Chisel and concrete with a big dangerous lump hammer, the large rubber shield at the top of the chisel is probably why I still have the same number of fingers that I was originally delivered with. The chisel seems to have remained sharp and made an excellent job of the demolition process. In terms of big lumps of sharp metal for whacking things, I give this my most magnanimous approbation.

Bought to use to chisel out bricks/mortar from my patio.It's a decent size/weight to use with a demolition hammer and the guard is very robust; the point tip really helps in breaking up the concrete and definitely worth an investment if you have these types of jobs planned.Not sure what else it could be used for outside of the concrete removal though.

This is a beast I am very happy was not tamed.I used it to break up a thick slab of concrete that served as a base for some crazy paving. Prior to this I had employed a brick bolster but not got very far. The fact that the impact point is much smaller meant that I was able to weaken the slab in a number of places before completely wrecking it.Considering that I am an absolute weakling (which is probably unfair to weaklings everywhere), this was no major feat. And I can't take any credit for it - it was all down to this chisel.The guard did not stay put for very long and kept moving up with the impact of the hammer (I used a 4 pound fibreglass-handled club hammer) but it was simple enough to knock back down every few hits.After the job, the point showed very little sign of wear (wish I could say the same about myself, but hey-ho).All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase and would gladly recommend to others.

I bought this for a specific job (cutting a gutter run into a concrete hardstand) and it has done the job perfectly. The design keeps your hand clear from stray hits and the chisel edge is solid and sharp even after several hours of use. However the handle slips as a few other reviewers mention after only an hour or so of use, so that every few hits you have to bang the handle back into place, because of this I assume it will not last as the inside of the handle rubs and wears down. Nect time I will pay a little more and get something with a longer life in it.

I was digging up in the garden when I noticed a patch of concrete/rock. I got this along with a Faithfull hammer and it got the job done brilliantly. It is built to last, at a fantastic price.
