Stanley's Sweetheart socket chisels should be for sale in the United States in about six to eight weeks, according to a company product manager. The chisels are in the final testing stages in the United Kingdom right now.
The chisels were unveiled at a press conference in June. Since then, I have been hammered by questions from readers about when they will be available for sale. I should have a set to evaluate within the next three weeks.
It's going to be a Stanley kind of month. I also am working on reviewing some newer versions of the company's handplanes. The company has made some improvements at the factory, and it shows in the examples I now have. None of these planes have bedding errors (which is a fatal flaw). The fit and finish has been greatly improved. So far the only real negative I have is that I think the lever caps are still flimsy. Does this affect performance? We'll see.
