Stanley’s Sweetheart and Bailey socket chisels are made from carbon steel and are some of Stanley’s most durable joint cutting tools.
Stanley’s new line of Sweetheart™ socket chisels are based on the classic 750 design, “arguably the best Stanley® chisel ever made,” says Chris Woolley of Stanley. Machined from high carbon steel, the new Sweethearts have extra-narrow side bevels for working in tight corners and hornbeam handles for striking and paring. Individual sizes from 1/8″ to 1-1⁄4″ are priced as of 2010 at $29.99 or $39.99; four-piece (16-791, $110) and eight-piece (16-793, $199) sets come with leather pouches. Stanley’s new five-piece Bailey® chisel set, machined from carbon-chrome steel with lacquered blades, also comes in a leather pouch. The Bailey kit contains 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″ and 1-1⁄4″ chisels and sells for $79.99 as of 2010.
