Overview
The Jorgensen 70700 is a chisel built with ductile iron construction and a listed weight of about 0.25 kilograms, roughly 9 ounces. Blade width, edge steel grade, and whether it is meant for wood, masonry, or general prying are not broken out in the spec data.
Jorgensen has built its Amazon presence mainly on woodworking clamps, so a chisel under the same brand draws on that reputation without necessarily sharing the same design lineage. Ductile iron in the construction is a durability-oriented material choice rather than the forged tool steel usually specified for fine wood chisels, and the listing does not clarify which. With 1800 reviews and roughly 2000 units bought in the past month, demand is clearly there even without those details.
- 4.5 rating from 1800 reviews
- About 2000 bought in the past month
- Ductile iron construction
- Listed weight of 0.25 kilograms
Who it's for
Fits buyers who want a single, general use chisel from a recognized tool brand and are not relying on a published edge hardness or steel grade. Less suited to woodworkers who need a matched set or documented blade steel for fine paring work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Established brand with strong review count
- 4.5 rating across 1800 reviews
- Lightweight at about 9 ounces for control
- No blade width or steel grade listed
- Sold as a single chisel, not a set
- Intended surface, wood vs masonry, is unstated
Performance notes
At about 9 ounces this is light enough for one handed control on smaller cuts. Edge sharpness, not the body material, is what determines cut quality day to day, so plan on maintaining the edge regardless of the ductile iron build.
