Overview
The GreatNeck LSO is a lightweight chisel from GreatNeck's hand tool line, built with aluminum and weighing well under half a pound. With no blade width or handle length listed, treat it as a light-duty tool for small trim and detail work rather than heavy demolition.
GreatNeck has sold basic hand tools for decades, and the LSO fits that catalog as a simple, no-frills chisel rather than a premium woodworking blade. Aluminum construction keeps the tool light in hand, though it is not the material most woodworkers reach for when they need an edge that holds through repeated mallet blows.

Who it's for
Suits anyone who wants a spare, inexpensive chisel around the shop for occasional light scraping or prying tasks. Not the choice for cabinetmakers or anyone doing fine joinery who needs a hardened steel edge that keeps its bevel.
Pros and cons
- Light in the hand at 0.43 pounds
- Low cost entry into having a chisel on hand
- Aluminum will not hold an edge like tool steel
- No blade width or length specified
Performance notes
With only material and weight listed, there is little to go on for cutting performance. Aluminum is soft compared to the tool steel used in most chisels, so expect the edge to dull faster and to be more prone to rolling or chipping under a mallet than a hardened steel blade.
