Silly Question . . . "Shorty" Ice Chisel

(1/2) > >>

bogtrotter:
A friend recently gave me a 2.5 foot long Mille de Lacs ice chisel as a present.

I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I have to ask - - What is the "point" of a shorty chisel?

I would have thought the body mechanics involved would make it difficult to use a 2.5 foot rather than 5 foot long chisel.

But there presumably must be some advantage/use to the "shorty" or they would not make/sell them, right?

Its for chipping out frozen holes.

MumbleSEED:
I had one and my kiddos used it.  As stated above use it to re-open old holes.  If you let youngsters use it expect it to be at the bottom of the lake sooner or later even with lanyard.  I was gifted a shorty eskimo by someone before and thought it was a joke about well...nevermind about that for today.

bogtrotter:
Thanks, guys!

That makes sense - - I guess I was just "overthinking" it.
