Buck Brothers 120106BC Wood Chisel 1 Inch

Overview

A 1 inch alloy steel blade paired with a plastic strike handle makes up the Buck 120106BC, a working chisel built for carpentry and joinery tasks. The steel edge is meant to hold up under repeated mallet strikes rather than delicate hand paring alone.

Buck lists blade material and width but not bevel angle or overall length, so exact fit for fine paring versus rougher chopping is not spelled out. A plastic handle is common on chisels built to take mallet impact without cracking, which points this toward general purpose shop use.

• Buck brand, model 120106BC
• 1 inch blade width
• Alloy steel blade
• Plastic handle

Who it's for

Carpenters and woodworkers who need one durable 1 inch chisel for mortising and general trim work. Not the choice for buyers wanting a boxed set of graduated widths or a chisel built for fine paring.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Alloy steel takes and holds an edge through repeated use and can be resharpened over the tool's life, while the plastic handle absorbs mallet impact without splitting. The 1 inch width sits in the middle of common chisel sizes, useful for mortises and general trimming rather than fine detail carving.
