Good quality chisels and punches

FWIW, I have visited the Mayhew Company and learned they are an OEM supplier to a great many other name bands. I cannot divulge that information, but can tell you that the Sears Craftsman and General tools are no longer on that list.

Mayhew uses domestically sourced S2 and S7 high shock tool steels for their striking tools. That alone makes a HUGE difference in performance.
