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?
