This wonderful chisel design is from the mid-1980’s. I believe that this design was inspired by and made to compete with Japanese chisels which were very popular at the time.<\/p>\n

Their handles are said to be unbreakable. They have an oval shape aligned with the blade and an end with a large heel for striking. They are made from black polypropylene and have deep ridges which allow air flow that keeps your hand from sweating and offers a good grip. The handles all have the same dimensions which makes a nice transition when switching between different chisels.<\/p>\n

I have seen a video, showing that the handle will clear hitting the board, if the blade is laid flat. I have owned a few sets where this was not the case.<\/p>\n

The blade widths offered are from 6 to 32mm. They look like silver ingots. They have a sculpted look with raised printing and the Berg\/Bahco shark logo, a craqueleur texture, and a gun finish known as parkerizing.<\/p>\n

Bahco Ergo 8032 chisels are in very high demand these days and command a premium price.<\/p>\n
