During the IPMS USA Nationals this year, John Vojtech was kind enough to provide several of his tools from Unique Master Models (UMM) to the IPMS Review Corps, and this was one of the items I was fortunate enough to receive. Consisting of an ergonomic plastic handle with the chisel point inserted, there is a built-in label identifying the chisel size for quick recognition.

Measuring five inches in length, the chisel is quite comfortable to hold and the wedge-shaped tip is made of hardened tool steel. Useful for scraping, pin mark removal, trimming small parts, and gouging plastic and resin, there are many possibilities for using this chisel. The diminutive size will allow for better control on smaller items.

My hits with this release start with the fine 2.0mm size of the chisel and the price point for such a well-made tool. As other chisels are available from UMM, the nice built-in label will aid modelers in quickly grabbing the desired tool from their bench. The ergonomic handle will help to prevent fatigue during longer periods of use.

I would again like to thank John Vojtech and the folks at UMM for graciously providing this chisel to the IPMS-USA for review.
