What do you hit your chisels with?
Now, I've seen everything.
I've seen square mallets, round mallets, cylinders, spherical mallets, mallets that have the faces covered with leather, rubber and even granite...
but I was at a neighbors place saturday, and he has a set of Stanley 40 chisels, but I noticed that the handle ends were all chewed up like they were used to tease a rotweiler. I asked him what happened and he replied, "nothin, why?". I pointed out that his vintage 40's were all beat up and asked what he hit them with. He opened a drawer, pulled out a mallet, and my jaw must have bounced off the floor at least 3 times...
It was a meat tenderizer. :eek:
You know what I mean? One of those cast mallets with 'teeth' that you use to soften up cheap meat. I asked why on earth he used it and he said he doesn't have any problems with the mallet sliding off the chisel head anymore.
You coulda knocked me over with a feather...
SO, what do you hit your chisels with???
