Marples MS500 ProTorch Bevel Edge Wood Chisel

This 18mm (3/4in) Marples MS500 Series All-Purpose Chisel is a highly versatile mid-range size, perfectly suited for general purpose work, medium-sized mortises, and a wide variety of joinery applications. The 18mm blade width strikes an excellent balance between precision control and practical coverage, making it one of the most frequently used sizes in any woodworker's collection. The chisel features a large metal striking cap engineered to withstand hammer impacts whilst prolonging handle life and preventing mushrooming. Its ProTouch™ handle is designed to provide superior grip comfort and reduce vibrations and hand fatigue during extended working periods. One-piece blade forging gives added strength and durability, whilst the special tool steel construction ensures a much sharper cutting edge for quicker and easier operation. A special hardening process delivers a longer-lasting edge, significantly reducing the time spent re-sharpening. This chisel arrives honed and sharpened, ready to use straight from the packet, saving you valuable preparation time.
