Overview
The Big 19317 is a chisel with a cast iron build weighing about 0.81 kilograms, or roughly 1.8 pounds.
Cast iron is a harder but more brittle metal than the forged steel or ductile iron typically used in striking chisels, which changes how the tool tolerates repeated mallet blows over time. The listing does not specify blade width or bevel angle, so matching this to a joinery task means confirming those measurements separately.

Who it's for
Buyers who specifically want a cast iron bodied chisel and accept that cast iron chips more readily under heavy strikes than forged steel or ductile iron. Less suited to anyone planning frequent hard mallet work who wants a stronger rating history.
Pros and cons
- Lighter cast iron body at 0.81 kg
- Cast iron more prone to chipping than forged steel
- Blade width not listed
Performance notes
Cast iron holds an edge but is more prone to chipping or cracking under repeated impact than the ductile iron or forged steel used in many chisel bodies. At 0.81 kilograms it is a lighter tool than some ductile iron alternatives.
