Our verdict

This all steel construction favors a power tool bit over a hand paring chisel, so match it to a compatible tool before buying for fine woodworking.

Overview

Ten inches long and built entirely from alloy steel, the Makita D-51150 weighs 180 grams and reads more like a power tool bit than a hand held wood chisel.

Unlike a typical hand chisel with a wood or plastic handle, this one lists alloy steel for both the body and the handle, a construction more common in demolition or rotary hammer bits than in bench chisels. At 10 inches long and 0.75 inches across, it fits the size range used for masonry or concrete work rather than fine woodworking.

  • 10 x 0.75 inch alloy steel chisel
  • 180 gram weight
  • One piece steel handle and body

Who it's for

Fits tradespeople and DIYers working with a compatible power tool who need a steel chisel bit for breaking or chipping masonry, concrete or similar hard material. Woodworkers looking for a paring or bench chisel with a comfortable grip should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full alloy steel construction for repeated impact
  • 10 inch length gives working reach
  • Compact 180 gram weight
Cons
  • No cushioned handle to absorb vibration
  • Not suited to fine hand woodworking

Performance notes

The single alloy steel construction removes any handle material that could flex or wear, which suits repeated impact use but transmits more vibration to the user than a cushioned handle would. At 180 grams it is light enough to fit standard bit holders while the 10 inch length gives reach into a work area.
