I saw that, but that wasn't what I was saying. I never mentioned what
to hit them with, just that different types of chisels are used for
different purposes. I don't use hammers with chisels, mallets only. My
motising and corner chisels are struck by mallets, paing chisels never
are. I hope that makes it clearer.
