The Stanley FatMax 0-16-255 is a 14mm bevel edge chisel from the Thru Tang range, sized for the general joinery tasks that make up the majority of on-site chisel work. The 14mm width handles standard hinge recesses, latch plates, and light mortising on softwood frames without needing to overlap cuts or resort to a wider blade that removes too much material.

Thru Tang construction means the steel tang passes through the entire handle and is capped at the top with an integrated strike cap. This design handles repeated mallet blows over years of daily use without the handle splitting or the blade working loose. The blade is chrome vanadium steel, hardened and tempered to hold an edge through extended use on both softwood and hardwood.

The FatMax bi-material handle provides a secure grip even with dusty or slightly damp hands. The softer outer layer absorbs some vibration from mallet strikes, while the harder core maintains rigidity and alignment. The ergonomic shape sits naturally in the hand for both striking and paring work.

At 14mm this chisel fills the gap between the narrow blades used for fine detail work and the wider chisels used for heavy stock removal. It is the size most joiners reach for first when fitting ironmongery to standard internal doors.
