Roark Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I have been sorting through boxes of materials here lately, and rediscovered some chisels that John Brookfield had sent to me in February 1994. One is a 5/16" cold chisel, MAYHEW brand, code number on the package is 84201, and it is high quality chrome vanadium steel, forged in the USA since 1856, according to the sleeve which held the chisel before he mangled it. On the chisel itself is written "70 Mayhew USA 5/16" The chisel was about 5-3/8" long but has been bent enough so that the ends are only 1-1/2" apart outside measurement. Another chisel, Master Mechanic brand is a 1/4" cold chisel and has been bent to 1-1/8" outside measurement. Another chisel snapped and he sent me the two pieces. Amazing.
