Mayhew 94105 Chisel Review

Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The Mayhew 94105 is a masonry chisel priced at $21.89 that holds a 4.4-star rating from 108 verified owners. That is a respectable score and clears the quality floor, though it sits a step below the highest-rated chisels in this group.

The tool is built from alloy steel with an alloy steel handle and weighs 1 pound. Its 2-1/2 inch edge is wide, suited to scoring and splitting brick and block rather than fine detail chipping. The 1 pound weight keeps it light and controllable, which helps on repeated strikes, while the bare steel handle means the tool relies on hammer technique rather than a cushioned grip.

At $21.89 from an established tool maker, the 94105 is a dependable mid-priced option. The 4.4-star average shows most owners are satisfied, with the wide edge and brand reputation as the main draws.

Specifications

Performance notes

The 2-1/2 inch alloy steel edge and 1 pound weight make the 94105 a wide-edge masonry chisel for scoring and splitting brick and block. The lighter head is easier to control on detailed strikes but carries less mass than heavier brick sets, so it leans on the hammer for driving force. The all-steel handle transmits more shock than a rubber grip.

What buyers say

Owners rate the Mayhew 94105 at 4.4 stars across 108 reviews, generally satisfied with the wide edge and the brand's reputation. The rating sits slightly below category leaders, but most buyers report it does the job for masonry work.
